Hello everyone,
I'm Ellis and im from Dartford Kent
, been reading the forum for the past few days and thought I might as well start posting as it's a really good site 
.
Where to start!, well I sold my car just under a month ago due the the cost of motoring, really couldn't afford it at this present time it's ridiculous! but good came out of it as I hopped back on my bike thats been stored at my brothers place for the past year or so.
Im really enjoying cycling again, I dont know how I ever stopped. Maybe because when you get a car you just get lazy?, anyway this is is good as I exercise a lot (upper body weightlifting etc) so my lower needed a good start and my legs feel great!.
I currently do about 40 miles a week at the moment, planning to do more eventually but just starting easy at the moment!.
Only thing since starting cycling is I now remember how it feels to be a cyclist again on the road!, how dangerous and vulnerable you are and the attitude from drivers
, but I take it with a pinch of salt, at the end of day im getting fit and healthy and get to see some lovely countryside and views.
I did have an electric bike a few years back that I enjoyed, but sold it as needed the money, was handy for the hills!
.
Ah nearly forgot I bought one of them 7 day cameras that was recommended on the forum and still waiting for it to arrive, cant wait to record my journeys and try it out!.
Oh and sorry again I was wondering where a good place would be to get good cycle route map's in kent?, if anybody knows?.
Many thanks.
