Hello

[drummer99]

I have been a lurker for a while, and joined quite abit back but didnt really get around to saying much.
Anyways, i have recently started commuting to college and my local town whenever i need to, (i say commuting, but i cheat a little, at the minute i drive around 3 miles and cycle 2.5 miles along a local cycle path) and next week i am commuting from the 5 mile mark as the 2.5er is very easy now.
I used to really enjoy cycling when i was younger but stopped and got fat and lazy. I started dieting in April and since then i have lost around 5 stone, still got a way to go though. Hence the cycling good to keep in shape, and i dont feel i am gonna bend the bike anymore.
Not sure what else to say.
I enjoy the forum and will be staying for a while i think.

Hi Drummer. Welcome to the trenches of the forum. Congratulations on the weight loss. I was in a similar position to you a few years back. It's amazing how much better I feel now. You have our support.

Oh I forgot. Welcome indeed to a fellow Yellowbelly.

Glad to see that you´re benefitting from the health benefits of cycling!

Losing five stone in six months is great going!

Hope you´re finding it fun, too.

So sorry to hear of your exile. Did you do something really serious, like marry a Hull lass?

Nope, moved to Jockland!

I'd rather chop off an appendage than marry someone north of t'Humber, I took my Mrs. (although originally from Middlesbrough) with me!!!

Give it a while and you'll be looking for hills. Try the wolds around Tealby and Walesby. Rothwell, Caistor and Grasby. Cadwell, Bluestone Heath Road, Caistor to Horncastle. There are plenty of hills if you seek them out, and I know you will once you get sorted.

You omit the hill between North Reston and Legbourne...

Is that one of the Lincolnshire flat hills?

I'd say there was a good 3 to 4 metres of rise over 200 yards or so!
