I am just REALLY busy at weekends and I have to ride at specific times which has meant that I have not been able to join any of the local cycling clubs... :(

Does anyone have any advice about how it might be possible to hook up with like-minded (and like-capable!) riders for ad-hoc weekend training rides?

    Hi there
    Where abouts specifically are you based and which is your ideal place to ride?
    Can you define capable?

    I can peddle and stay on so I'm competent but I assume you have a rough distance and average speed in mind?

    Hopefully we'll get some sunny days to enjoy soon.

    Sorry, I've been off here for a while...

    I am based in Bourne in South Lincs, I am 46 years old, I tend to do 30-40 loop rides out from Bourne and come in at about 16-18mph av speed per hour.

    I do 2 or 3 sportives a year and do 100 miles in about 6 hours.

    I wasn't claiming to be a 'capable' rider, just a very keen one and looking for riders with a similar outlook/speed/fitness level.
