Joined the forum a couple of weeks ago, thought I should post something.....
Bought a MTB a decade ago, and after an initial spurt of enthusiasm, it began to languish in the garage.
Last year, a significant birthday and a suggestion from my GP that I should lose a wee bit of weight persuaded me to get back on the bike. Changed to slicker tyres, and tried to get out at least once a week, maybe doing 10-20 miles on cycle paths.
This spring, I treated myself to a decent bike - something a bit faster and lighter. Great decision,
I’m still a “fair weather cyclist”, doing perhaps 30-40 miles on a saturday or sunday morning. Strava says I’ve done nearly 1000 miles this year. And I’ve lost a stone and a half :-)
