Hi from Brum

Hi....

Just joined the forum. Cycled a lot as a kid/teenager, but only just getting back into it now (am 34). Have a Trek 1.2 WSD, and am gearing up to do the British Heart Foundation 30 mile ride in Kenilworth in Oct. Longest ride so far, 14.5 miles (not much, I know!).

Hello pepecat, and welcome to CycleChat. Have a look around, in Café for allsorts, Informal Rides for what people on here have been up to, and Rides and Touring for lovely stories of cycling adventure...soon you'll be motivated to do your mileage - and more - it's that sort of place!

Welcome pepecat,plenty of time to get yourself ready for the ride,especially as you've already done a 14 miler.
Are you leisure cycling or commuting?

 

[BrumJim]

30 miles should be no problem at all. We seem to have had a recent influx of people from Birmingham on here. Where are you based?

Hi pepecat, welcome to CC.

Good luck with ride - if you've already done 14.5 miles you'll have no problem with 30 by October.

Hello all and thanks for the replies!

Potsy - I'm a leisure cyclist... a commute would take me about ten minutes, which isn't really worth it!! Am planning a 20 miler for the next trip out - just need to find something not too hilly!

BrumJim - am based in Bournville (v near the Selly Oak side of things). Pretty much any route I take is downhill first, so there's always a last grind up to get home.
