"HELLO" 38 yr old rider of MTB for years, but recently gone back to road bikes to complete a charity bike ride shamless plug for donations here and loving every minute! Commute to work on my MTB and spend as much time as I can out on the roadie for my training - always keen to find others to ride 30-50milers with as it gets kinda boring on my own.
Hello and Keep an eye out for local CC Ecosse meets in the subsection... CC & Informal Rides and Events Hopefully there'll be some organised soon
Welcome from down in the burbs You have chosen a brilliant bunch to join,always full of useful info and help.Nice city you live in,only been once, but i enjoyed it loads !
Simon Russell and to CycleChat ! Which part of Embra are you living ? There are a number of us in the around the city, so we could always arrange a 'CC Training Ride' . Otherwise, check out the local cycling clubs, as going out on a regular club run will greatly improve your fitness, speed, bike handling and group riding skills as well as having company for your training. This ride might interest you as a 'training check'. HTH ! ps remember - it might be wet and windy on the days of your Big Ride ...
Hey Simon, I've just signed up this evening - from Edinburgh too. 28 and living in Leith but work offshore, so schedules are difficult to keep, but definitely up for a couple of midweek rides if that suits you? 30-ish miles would be about my top end of distance, as didn't manage to get out on the road much over winter. Let me know.. cheers, Rich
