Hello everyone.
My name is Paul and after checking out a couple of forums I decided this would be the one I would register for.
I used to cycle a lot in my teens and really got into timing myself on short sprints locally, then I started to go on solo runs, up to 40 miles at a time and loved every pedal of it. I was lean, and fit back then.
One thing led to another and kids came, so did some weight, then some more weight, and now I am where I am... looking to get back into cycling and have many questions (there was no such thing as the internet when I first started cycling let alone forums).
Currently I own a Raleigh manta ray MTB which I picked up cheapish locally, i have adjusted the brakes and a few other bits myself and this will do me initially until I ultimately get a road bike which I 'think' is where my passion will lie.
