Hello from Africa

[BigChick]

Yip, Africa... well South Africa to be exact

Although I am British, my entire family are British and I am from West Sussex and miss home like CRAZY. Been living here for 21 years and am literally just waiting for the right time to return home to the UK.

Right so... some about me:

I am 34, female, really fat and unfit and have taken up cycling in order to recify all this. Brought my first bike in June 2010 and took to it right away. Have since upgraded my bike (MTB) but due to incessent asthma issues i am currently riding on the road. I miss the dirt very much and will go back to the trails, but only once i have my lungs under control again properly.

So for now, I am entering road races on my MTB much to the horror of the local riding community out here.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Hi BigChick,

Welcome to CC. I'm hoping you're only looking to rectify the "fat and unfit" part of your description. Time will take care of the 34 part and as for being female, well that's just good fortune - surely!

Good luck with the cycling.

And happy posting in the forums.

Welcome to CC

I visited SA a couple of Years ago, and loved it, but I wouldn't want to live there. Best of luck with your quest

Hi BigChick, I've just entered the Cape Argus for 13 March. Did it last year and loved it, I will be in SA for two weeks around the Argus, working. Whereabouts are you?

Cheers for the plug :-)

Always happy to give help/advice but as Sharky says, if you enjoy it, the rest will fall into place.
