Hello from Glasgow

[Rasmus]

Hi all

So, after joining last year and doing some serious lurking, I finally made my first post. So I guess I should introduce myself as well.

I am in my late 20s (for a little while yet), nationality is Danish, but I've been living and working (academia) in Glasgow for a couple of years now.

Exchanging the cycle culture of Copenhagen with that of central Scotland was a bit of a shock at first, but I've learned to enjoy it. The terrain is much more interesting, for one thing...

I ride a Trek 7.3 hybrid for both my short daily commute across town, and longer rides on the weekend.

Welcome!

Lots of good routes in and around Glasgow. Keep an eye out for CC Ecosse rides too.

Hello and welcome, from a bit further to the east!

As Coco says, we are occasionally meeting up - don't trust anybody suggesting you meet strangers off the internet - for rides around central Scotland. If you haven't come across these rides during your Year of Lurking, they are in the "informal rides" section, just search for "CC Ecosse". The next one is in 10 days time (29th), starting from Inverkeithing train station around Loch Leven and back again, with an obligatory cake & chat stop.
These rides are social rides, and our motto is that nobody will be left behind!
That's the advertising over

Thanks for the welcome, everyone.

I have spotted the CC ecosse rides - although I'm a solo rider by heart, I might just join up one day (can't make it on the 29th).

From one solo rider to another - WELCOME.

On the internet are you erasmus?
Not important, but it is nice to cycle with folk from time to time... The CC Ecosse contingent provide good ride reports - join in!
Have fun.
