Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I love the idea of group cycles and will look forward to joining in some time in the future. I've only been for a few rides and am absolutely loving doing them with my uber-supportive hubbie (he's a fit runner and cyclist, which comes in extremely handy when I need a shove up a hill...!) We've signed up for Pedal for Scotland and am hoping his encouragement, the crowd and atmosphere will pull me along for the 47 miles!!
