Hello from Wakefield

[Paulwakefield]

Hi all, I'm Paul and after reading this forum for the past year or so, decided the time was right to join.

Also I've just done the first proper ride of the summer, 72 miles to Scarborough today, perfect day for it, very enjoyable.

This is a great forum and I look forward to being on here.

Thanks...

(oh and I apologise for spelling Hello wrong, great first post!! Typing too fast!!!)

Welcome Paul, just up the road from you in sunny Skelmanthorpe. Never ridden over to Wakey cos it's uphill all the way home!

Hi Paul, Good ride! next time have a look at going through Sherburn in Elmet, Stamford Bridge, much quieter lanes, but about the same distance. How did you get home by the way?

Hi Paul - welcome to CC.

'Summer' - it isn't even officially spring until next weekend! (Yes, I know it has felt like spring for a week or two now.)

Small world... I lived in Skelmanthorpe for 8 years when I was a kid. Birchfield something was the road, and I went to St. Aidens school, still going? It was a long time ago...

Ceedee - I got the train back, should have cycled back, but gotta start slowly

Hi Paul, did you have any problems with the bike on the train? I think you did the right thing getting the train back the wind is always in your face the other way.



If you you do it again and fancy some company let me know 2 or 3 of us are up for it. Cheers, Chris.

Oooohhhh, there's a lot of us Wakey types all of a sudden. Newton Hill anyone?
How did you get back from Scarborough? Train?

 

[Paulwakefield]

No issues with the bike on the train, I've done it loads of times with my hybrid fully loaded even at peak times. So the road bike was easy.

I'm a member of other forums, but can I say this is far superior. I'm so shocked at how many people have responded and how friendly you all seem.

Ceedee, I will let you know next time, but with work and childcare commitments I find it tough to get out very often these days.
