I live in Ellesmere Port, not far from Chester. Does anyone know if there any friendly clubs that a 40 year old newbe could join?

For road riding try Birkenhead North End, they have various levels of rides from Eureka café, Two Mills and arrange time trials etc.

or on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8450880475&ref=ts

Or at a slower pace:
Chester and Northwales CTC.

For Mountain Biking try out MBNW (not clubs but forums):

Chester Road Club? Deeside Olympic? They both start in "Chester" to a degree.

Quite a few miles away from Ellesmore Port though, I wouldn't like to have to cycle to & from one of those club runs.

Ride out to the eureka and see what clubs you like the look of ? What do you like to do cycle wise ?

Most of the above run from the eureka cafe. Get down there some time, get chatting, and join them for a ride.

Or even just go down whenever and have a chat with the girls in the cafe, or some of the other riders that have pulled up.

Many thanks for that I will try and fet to the Eureka this weekend. Cougie - I like to ride for 2-4 hours but am only just getting back to cycling after a long time off a bike so looking to get out with people for a chat and a bit of enjoyment. Did a 50 yesterday into North Wales (Chester - dadgelda loop), my general fitness was good but i found a couple of the hills very hard going so definately need to build up my legs. hopefully getting out on some club rides will help!
