Evening
Thought I would blithely start posting and then realised people introduced themselves, very sensible.
Am 40 this year and have rediscovered riding after 15 years of sailing and realising I am rubbish at it. I am poor at cycling but at least it involves less faffing about with water.
Got a Spesh rockhopper on the RTW scheme at work and have traded up to a Cube AMS 110 which I am still getting to grips with.
Based near Warrington and have tried some of the local spots - Llandgela, Grizedale, Rivvy Pike, Delamere etc. am ok on red routes but black are still to be tried!

Hello
I also come from a sailing background and have concluded that whilst i'm not especially good at either, they both involve getting wet and cold, and cost more than you expect, at least there's usually a cafe around selling cake when you're on a bikeLife is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away....

You're right about the wet and cold (and expense) but i am finding it's less subject to the vagaries of the weather, I am also land locked so don't have access to the Solent like you do. I studied in Southampton so know how good the yotting can be!Cube AMS 110 Pro
