Hello from Vale of Glamorgan

[lesleym2511]

Hi everyone,

I am a 49 year old overweight female and have returned to cycling after many years. I want to get fit and loose some weight and cant stand gyms!

I've just bought my first road bike in too many years to count and got a trek 1.5. I've been out today (got it yesterday) and it seems very good. I only wish my legs were stronger! to get up the hills. Im sure it will improve as I go on.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I would like to get to know some others locally too.

Lesley

Hi Lesley. Nigel here from Cardiff. Use the Vale area a lot on my rides because of the easy access for me from the west side of Cardiff.
Try to get into a routine so that you cycle regularly. Do what you feel comfortable with to start and then build from there.
Good luck - some lovely cycling weather coming up this week.
