Hi from Keighley

Hi people.

New guy here from Keighley. Just getting back into cycling after a few years.

From Scotland
I too returned to cycling after a long break. I am loving it!

Hi David. Welcome from powys. Hope you enjoy the forum

 

[FlyingCyclist]

Are new forum members normally 'watched' by an moderator?

Hi David,



I'm new here and enjoying the company of the folks on the forum - good sense of humour when it is needed (most of the time with the pain I'm experiencing from a recent return)

For some reason I read that as a recent rectum

Ouch! I'm not sure what it could mean.... but Ouch nonetheless!!

Hi David. Welcome to CC from just over the hill!

We do a lot of CC forum rides in this area and you would be welcome to join us. If you like the sound of that, then keep an eye on CycleChat and Informal Rides.

A number of us rode the Spring Into The Dales audax event from Mytholmroyd yesterday and stopped off at Rossi's cafe in Keighley on the way back. I am organising a similar ride from Hebden Bridge to take place on Saturday, 10th May, in case you are interested. (Slow, chatty, 105 km/65 miles, lots of hills!)

Thanks.

Many thanks for the invite. Wow 65miles? Eek, I think I'll have to be fit to do that lol.
I'll keep you in mind if I can ride for a decent amount of time.

I can honestly say that I've only been in that cafe once in my entire lifetime while living in Keighley!

Out of interest, any recommendations for shop where they service bikes? Take a look at my thread below

Hi and David.

I had my first introduction to a forum ride recently organised by @ColinJ - highly recommended if you can manage the miles.

To answer your earlier question, new members are usually watched by the moderators - it's quite a new thing to keep the spammers out. Seems to work well so far.

 

[FlyingCyclist]

What types of bikes do you normally see on the rides?

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

The one I attended there were mostly various forms of road bike, but there was at least one mountain bike and my Raleigh:

They did a huge slab of tasty carrot cake and a can of coke for about £2.40 yesterday, which I thought was pretty reasonable. Certainly compared to the cost of cake in cafes over here which tends to be £2.50 - £3.00 for smaller slices!

to CC David!

 

[FlyingCyclist]

Thank you for the kind welcomes.

Colin
I'm sure the carrot cake isn't as good as the ones I buy each time I pass Moffat in Scotland

Phil
Hmmm. Mostly road-type bikes? I think I would feel awkward not keeping up with them on my bike lol
I think once I get back into cycling, I'll have to consider a road or cyclo and join you guys.

I'd love to ride faster than I currently am doing.
