hi.im looking to lose some weight as i've not been cycling for over a year.
used to help build the croft cycle trail near me,a year and a half ago and was a cool 13ish stone.
now im nearly 15 stone! wouldnt say im unhealthy but its amazin what being inbetween jobs can do.
started riding again and realized how much fun i used to have!
if theres anyone near me that wants to cycle swindon give me a shout.
ive got a specialized fsr (1998!).sweet bike as im happy to ride road or trail or jump for that matter.
might get a new model or rebuild this? not 2 sure yet.
im 27 and got 2 much time on my hands!i dont have a car at the mo but if anyone wants to go further afield im happy to pay petrol
if your near me and want someone to ride with give me a shout!
cheers everyone
excellent forum by the way!

There are a couple on the forum from Swindon. I don't live there anymore, but if I did I'd go for a cycle!

Hi Rob, what kind of distances/speeds are you looking to do to start with? I'm in Swindon and could be up for a few rides.

hi mark. im currently getting in 4-5 laps of croft everyday with the odd longer ride every now and then.
went up to barbury and back + a few laps of croft on my last ride.the bike and tyres im currently using are fine but not ideal for very fast riding on the road.
i havent put a computer on my bike so not to sure of my speed.
where do you ride normally?
i wouldnt mind getting up on the ridgeway sometime.
