Hello everyone.
Like most, have been using the site for a while but never really looked at this section before.
Thanks to everyone for their advice and comments on my posts, it has helped make my return to cycling a pleasure.
I live in a (large) village called Hoo which is near Rochester, and since last summer have been cycling the lanes locally and occasionally ventured further afield, but due to my work, and the weather, my trips out have been limited since November. I got myself a Ltd Ed Boardman Team Carbon in December through my C2W scheme and cannot wait for the days to get longer again I can take advantage of it, not just the odd weekday and weekend ride.
I'm looking to join a club, but have to admit to being a bit nervous. Don't want to look like an idiot turning up and not managing it, so will probably wait until I'm a bit fitter and then find a local one.
I used to cycle a lot in my teens, but then girls and work got in the way and my bike stayed in the garage, but really wanted to get back to it and was loaned a bike in May last year. Gave me the bug, and motivation, to get out again. I usually do a short training route of about 12 miles as much as I can and then up that to 30-40miles when time permits. Managed the 80km circuit of Kent Sportive last September and will be looking at doing some more events this year.
I usually cycle alone, so if anyone needs an imtermittent cycling buddy around the Medway area, it'd be good to have some like minded company.
