Hi courtenay, and Welcome

Considering taking up cycling again? What's to consider? Now you're away from the hurlyburly of the Capital you've got no excuse. Just get out there and do it, you know you want to, that's why you're here, right?

Hi midnight,

To right. lol

My only problem at the moment is finding a bike within my rather meager budget. lol,
But my ultimate goal will be the port talbot to london portion of route 4 during the summer.

Bit of training required first though lol and im in the perfect surroundings to do it.

Currently on the hunt for an unwanted rust bucket hanging around in someones garden...lol.

Ah the internet is a wonderful thing, found 2 unwanted rustbuckets picked them up today for free should hopefully have one on the road by next weekend.
