After leaving a life in London behind roughly 10 years ago my cycle commuting days were done, I had spent 8 glorious years riding through the capital daily, in all weathers, I enjoyed it immensely. With the move to employment closer to home and company vehicle I lost something I had loved, I carried on riding socially for a few years but eventually stopped all together. After being unable to factor in cycling to my daily routine for many years I now have the opportunity to do just that, i now work at a holiday park that is approximately 4 miles from home, not a huge commute by any means but I'm hoping the love returns for me, it's a very different commute to the hustle and bustle of city riding, instead I have about a mile through my village followed by a few miles of country B road with a short but challenging climb to top it off. I've spent the last few weeks sourcing a bike and recuperating the kit that has been lost to a few house moves and the tip. I've got a nice "middle of the road" ROUX road bike and a nice new lid to start me off. One of the things I loved about having cycling as part of my life for so long was the CC forums, today while fettling with the bike I was reminded of this and made a mental note to log in and start contributing again. So hopefully I'll be chatting with a few of you over the coming years and find my love of two wheels over four again!
Thanks for having me back
