Hold on a second. You want to compete in Otley CC TT's next year? Are you not already a member of the club?

If not - why not join them. And if so - why not RIDE with them? I'm confused.

Sorry to confuse you hehe... My husband is a member already and he want me to join next year but I said I want to lose few pounds first and be really fit before I join.

here's an idea - how about going on rides with the Otley club..??

Know what you mean I went through the same thing end of last year after buying a road bike on impulse, well it was lust really for the bike.

I wanted to join my local club to go out and learn how to ride but felt shy that I wasn't good enough and wanted to get out on my own. So in the end I did 3 weekends of rides for about and hour first then hour and half until the third one I could do 2 hours. I joined the club only to find out that they were all really nice people and with 4 groups for different pace's I needn't have done any training prior to joining. Any half decent club should cater for and also actively encourage you as not only a new member but also a new rider.

If I were you I would just join the club and get out with them as you will soon find other people of a similar level to yourself and that should make you feel more and ease but also help you enjoy your biking. Plus you'll probably find a few riders also train together outside of the normal club runs which should help you with the fitness side of things.
