Hello from Cornwall

Hello everyone, thanks for adding me. I'm 58 overweight and about as unfit as you can get this side of being dead. I've decided to start cycling with the aim of losing weight and improving my fitness. I've sort of got a starter bike I was given an old Claude Butler trailridge that has seen better days, but I'm sure that once it's had a bit of TLC and if I like the experience I'll be asking about alternatives.

Hey, from equally bumpy Devon.

Take it easy on those hills at first.

There's never any shame in getting off and walking if it's too much.

It's all still exercise that's doing you some good.

I began cycling from a similar starting point, it's a great journey
