Good day to one and all!
I turned 40 recently and decided to take a good long look at myself. The excess 3 stone hanging over my belt comes sponsored by John Smiths and the kebab shop and got in the way of an honest assessment, so I've decided to shift it. I started to go to spinning class and sort of enjoy it, although have realised that there must be more to cycling than staring at a brick wall. To regain my lost youth i've bought a 'town and trail' bike, primarily to replace the car on the 12 mile commute to work. The bike is quite a cheap reebok one but should suffice for the initial 're-getting used to cycling' phase. Life in flat Lincolnshire does make cycling for us oldies easier and i look forward to not having hills to go up.
Well, that's me for now. You can all expect some simple questions as i ask for advice. Not having ridden for over 15 years, i'm sure my body will be more painful than your answers!
