Great, thanks. I'm now out of cycling action until after August Bank holiday. If you ride before this have fun, and I'll jump on the next one.
Cheers,
Mick.

Hi guys, just a little update to let you know my level of ability atm, i went for my 2nd ride today, and completed around 8 miles, i cycled around the Swadlincote Conkers blue course, Albert Village lake and the Donisthorpe canal track. Not sure if any of you have ridden there but its nice, a combination of probably 80% gravel track, 10% tarmac & 10% woodland track
i had to stop a couple of times just for a break (and once because of numb wrists) and also had to get off and walk a couple of the steeper hills, but all in all it was alot of fun. I was out probably about 2 hours and returned home knackered lol.
Anyway i'll keep going, keep getting better and look forward going for a ride with you guys once i'm up to par.

A group ride is a group ride, we go at the pace everyone can do and enjoy so do not worry about it too much, also when in a group you can get a bit of a draft like race cars etc so its a bit easier.Hi guys, just a little update to let you know my level of ability atm, i went for my 2nd ride today, and completed around 8 miles, i cycled around the Swadlincote Conkers blue course, Albert Village lake and the Donisthorpe canal track.

Its a mountain bike, Carrera Kraken. I wanted something sturdy that would take my weight and a bike that i could take advantage of all the traffic free cycling tracks around this area. I felt abit underconfident at road cycling so wanted to get back into things without the worry of traffic, hence the MTB.

Nowt wrong with that , i just got a subway on Cycle to Work just for winter commuting and riding with the kids, could be ideal for the group ride as well ..
