Hi from Preston,Lancashire!

So howcome you dont bike out in winter then??

I do! It's just not as fun and the scenery is a bit drab. The Hodder Valley in Spring will be fabulous.

Totally agree with the riding in the dark thing...it's pants ! At the moment i'm out at 6am straight in to dark countryside ducking and diving motorists who are more important and only return at 7 ish inthe damn dark ! Cannot wait for summer when it's warm and i can actually see Cheshire's finest countryside !

At least in the summer you see other cyclists wearing shorts too..........

Excellent!! I am out past Bamber bridge, Walton-le-Dale heading out towards Blackburn, Chorley. I totally understand about riding with another lady! Not to dis the guys here..... I dont ride out in the dark either. I am thinking at some point riding on the Hebdon bridge forum ride. Will see tho. I'm new as well. So bear with me whilst I get my bearings on this website! Cool look forward to hearing from you!! And welcome to the site!!

You should come this Sunday, my better half is riding so you would not be the only woman, plus it will be slow with a friendly bunch, I'm saying that though I only know Colin who is organising it. The big plus points in doing these rides are that you make new friends, learn a lot and easily do more miles with less perceived effort.

Have a look at the thread and you'll see that I'm thinking of joining the ride for part of the route. You could meet the ride at Spring Wood just outside Whalley or even join me to meet the ride at Burnley Rosegrove station.

Yeah I've looked at that and quite fancy coming along however it clashes with my club run day (being a Sunday). Mind you it would be good to meet lots of people from the forum. Oooohh its a tough one!!!

Plus...and a bigger plus, I'm a wuss if it looks like it is going to be windy and rainy. Particularly windy! My bike is light (made of carbon) and I hate being blown all over the place.

Mine were out today too - what the hell is going on? It's January for pete's sake! I should look like the Michelin man!!

If you want a fast ride, go with your club.

If you want a sociable pootle, come with Colin's group.
