Hello everyone. Glad to have found a source of inspiration and information. Just took up cycling in the last four weeks. Got a folding mountain bike which will go into the car to transport me to cycle paths. Currently doing 8-14 mile rides 3-5 times a week. Don't do hills, traffic, great distances nor speed just yet!
If you are ever on the Alloa-Dunfermline cycle path and see a middle-aged woman going slowly on a blue bike peching - that'll be me! Hoping it gets easier!

Welcome to yet another Fifer! :smile: Your distances seem fine to me, more than I was doing when I first started. Keep to the cycle paths if you feel safer on them, you'll soon get more of a feel for the bike and build your confidence.
 
Welcome from another Fifer (escapee of the Kingdom) :smile:. When I first moved back to Fife, I used the Dunfermline - Clackmannan path quite a bit. As paths go its quite a good one; pity it doesn't really go anywhere though. I used to vary it a bit by going down the path and coming back via the coast. I then started to take the Saline Road and come back on the path, now I just take the road.

There are a lot of long established members north of the border, ex C+ they came with the BR exodus :smile:

I was brought up in Saline, but now use that path to Clackmannan alot, a good test, especially coming back it is up hill lol :smile:
