Hiya John and welcome from Rutherglen!
If you have a car you can put your bike in, there are 2 social beginners rides starting from the Glasgow Green every Tuesday and Friday.
Link here.
Don't worry, they are mixed sex rides, a few recently retired gentlemen have been joining us gals, max speed 10mph on the flat

[John the Canuck]

thanks to all above for the welcomes

Pat - a kind invitation but i'm without a car at the moment
sold my taxi as the business collapsed last year...oddly enough i worked the Cambuslang/Rutherglen area....

as i mentioned above - i need to get fit again - been sitting on my butt in the taxi too long
a slow process methinks as i have asthma too....

maybe this summer.................john

I would like to return your welcome john and say hello while I'm at it

 

[i hate hills]

from the land of sun & rain

Sounds just like Scotland....

 

[i hate hills]

well, South Lanarkshire..
started cycling with the Hertfordshire CC in the ''cough'' mid 50s [ year not age.....]
still got some B&W photos of 25mile TimeTrials on a steel Raleigh which weighed a ton...
moved to Canada................ and stopped cycling

now retired, I have decided to start again
low key though - i live on a farm 3 miles from the village and thought it would be a nice way to enjoy the country lanes
Bought a Trek FX 7.2 some time ago - dusted it off - browsed your Forum - decided to join for the wealth of knowledge and the chat - long dark nights out here at the moment .........and SNOWING.....
