Hi from Londinium!

[Blurb]

Hi All,
Long time weekend/fair weather cyclist, started commuting this winter and enjoying it immensely, albeit with the mean streets of London throwing all the usual stuff at me.
Five months in and I've lost 8 kilos in weight and fitter than I was twenty years ago, yes, I'm the wrong side of forty. Stumbled across CC and after lurking for a while thought I'd join in.
Currently running a Brompton for part-Tube commutes and a BSO/MTB. Hope I got the acronym combo right).

I've heard of that Londinium thing, didn't they use to call it that on the wrong side of the forties! I suppose you could always invent MTBSO as a sort of hybrid acronym to fit the bill. Bienvenu!

Having read all the Blurb, I'll join in to say welcome. In 'Informal Rides' there is a dedicated 'Sunday London Ride' thread - it has gone a bit flat at the moment...possibly due to people's definition of 'London' but I'm sure will return as the thrust of Spring makes the chain oil glisten once again. There are the FNRttCs also, which may be of interest, and being on the wrong side of forty is only a starting point. Being very wrong is even more fun.
Cheers!

Thanks for the welcome. I like the idea of an MTBSO
Might be a while before I build up the courage for a group ride, but hopefully I'll get there.

Hi and welcome from a kentishman who is also the wrong side of forty to be aspiring chicken but the right side to be wise enough to know better (apparently)
