hi from powys

[welsh dragon]

Now I have been here a few days and have barged in on other peoples conversations, and had taken part in the three word story, it's about time I introduced myself. I live in powys but don't come from here. I moved here about 12 years ago and my son and daughter followed me here from Birmingham. I bought my hybrid bike from halfords last week an apollo etienne. I am still waiting for my helmet to arrive, probably on wednesday, then I will attempt to huff and puff my way along the road for a couple of miles or until my bum and or legs give out. Everyone here so far har been very nice and gracious, and no question seems to stupid to the regulars. I am glad I found this site and look forward to gettingmto know everyone.

Welcome @welsh dragon - think I have met you already on another thread
Enjoy your bike, you'll be flying the miles before you can say "sore bum"

 

[welsh dragon]

I certainly hope so. Many thanks

(I know I've said hi already ).

I hope you enjoy the new bike. Make sure your saddle is high enough and the tyres pumped up well and you'll get on fine.

Hope you have managed to get yourself out and about and have enjoyed yourself. Stick at it and you will soon start to up the miles and feel the benefits of it.

Hello thank you for your kind words of encouragement. yes I have managed to go out, on Thursday and friday. Today I just spent 20 minutes going up and down the lane where I live. Too many caravans out today. I live in a popular tourist area, especially for people from Birmingham. The kids go back to school next week and everyone is going away for one last weekend. I know how people from brum drive so, I am staying well away from the roads.

I used to live in Birmingham and worked in the city centre. You take your life in your hands when you go into the city.

Hi and
Take it steady for a while and don't try to do too much. Give yourself a day off now and again to give your body time to recover from this new assault.
Happy biking.
