Hi. I started a couple of threads when I was fannying about trying to a) decide whether to get a road bike and b) choose a bike, but I now pick my new bike up tomorrow so thought I'd better say hello in here.
45, 5'11", 15 stone, complete beginner (rode BMXs as a kid and had a couple of 'racers'), hideously unfit.
I want to ride to get fit, lose weight, get out in the countryside, get the adrenaline pumping, compete against myself using strava or whatever and generally have fun. I hope the bug bites!
Any hints/tips/advice welcome - I'm off to track down reasonably priced starter equipment such as helmet, padded shorts etc as I've got nothing yet and will be walking the bike home at this rate.
