Hi All!
My name is Phil, I have not rode a road bike (racer) as it used to called in my younger days for years and I am new to CycleChat.
I used to be into running but recently I started getting problems with my knee. So I decided cycling would be a more beneficial and help keep the weight down.
I bought a Trek 1.5 off E bay at the beginning for the month and am really enjoying it at the moment. I have done 2 long rides last weekend Sat 35Miles , Sun 32 Miles , legs felt great, bum a bit sore. I will be out again this weekend and maybe go further. I have seen a charity ride not far from me called the Manchester 100 MILE or KM in Sept so I might do this if I can get the miles in.
I would love to join a club and do some group rides, and ultimately compete in some races perhaps. Nice to meet you all. Phil.
