Hi there. I've just signed up to see what clubs, rides and groups are around the Chelmsford area. I've been cycling for fitness for about six months now after buying a used hybrid. After a recent job change I'm looking for local rides around Chelmsford as the new job doesn't have any suitable roads at this time of year.
Being 45, a smidge overweight and with heart problems though, I'm not looking to tear around at breakneck speeds for hundreds of miles. I can manage an average speed of around 15+ mph and have so far done up to 30 miles, but more regularly around 20.
I'm hoping to find a local group to go for the occasional mid week evening ride with around Chelmsford and go for longer rides at the weekend.
The bike is a Whyte Montpellier that's had a few tweaks including a brooks saddle and a rear rack and soft panniers to make it more useable for everyday use. Next mod is to find someone who can make up a bespoke chain guard and fit a dynamo front hub.
Anyway, hope to catch up with a few of you soon
