Hello from Darlington

[geordie41]

Hey everyone..

Been riding for fitness and pleasure for the first time this summer and can now manage 30 mile runs around the north east on my budget hybrid at least 3 times a week. Hopefully I can get some help on how to push past that mileage as It's about the maximum I can do in one hop. Looking forward to getting involved :-)

hi geordie41
you will find lots of helpfull ppl on here and we are normally very friendly ... 30 miles is a good start there is loads of quite lanes to use also ... some thing for you to think about next year ..if there not stopped by the spending cuts... http://www.darlington.gov.uk/Leisure/communityevents/cyclingfestival/routeinformation.htm have done then for years great fun as you build up from the easy 50 miler to the big one 100 miler ...

Cheers for the link Larry.

I've had my eye on the round 50 for a while and have done most of the quiet roads around Darlo. I'm spoilt for choice whether I go North, South, East or West of the town :-)

Craig.
