Hi all,

I am 33 and new to road cycling. I am cycling 15 miles at a time (in one hour), but will be moving up to 20 this weekend. I am in Taunton, Somerset and am looking for people to cycle with as I don't know anybody who rides a road bike. Thanks, Matt.

Hi Matt,

I live in Welington, where do you normally ride?
I ride most saturday and sunday mornings and I also try and get out a couple of evenings a week.
Give me a shout if you like

Hi Simon,

Thanks for getting back - I am new to road cycling, but cycled up to the Pines cafe through Kingston St Mary from Creech St Michael yesterday which was really pleasant!! It was about an 18 mile round trip. I had a knee op last November and my main sports were tennis and surfing but I have been told that road cycling is better for my knee so I have taken it up in the last 3 weeks and love it!!! It would be really good to join you if you don't mind. I'm not cycle fit yet as I only started 3 weeks ago and according to my cycle computer did the 18 miles in one hour 20 minutes (it doesn't include stopping at lights etc). I wouldn;t want to hold you up, but if you don't mind it would be really good to tag along. Matt.
