Hi,
New to forums and cycling so a welcome post is a huge challenge!
Got back on a bike after more than 20 years since I last rode, all as part of an attempt at getting back into shape after piling on some pounds (lots) after my wife and I had twins. We left our sporting days behind us and after 2 years of no gym, squash, swimming or tennis I managed to gain a hefty 3 and a half stone.
5 months in and I've now lost about 2.5 stone thanks to a change in diet, some running and of course cycling. The cycling I've really enjoyed and have now moved from off road to road and even cycled to work. 12 miles into central London and just 1 degree C on the first morning!
Anyway fallen back in love with cycling and now have the strava bug. Gradually improving a Richmond park lap time (29 mins down to 22) and all in bad weather. It's actually a Richmond park thread on this forum that led me here.
