Hello

Spoon1969

Hi all,

Been a long term lurker & weekend biker. I'm just coming up to my mid forties, under tall for my weight and need to loose a few pounds of puppy fat.

I have found that going out on the bike actually gets my son off the Xbox.

Used to be a complete loon on a bike in my younger days but I have found that I don't bounce like I used too :shock:

Anyway, Hi All

Welcome. Do everything you can to encourage Spoon minor to ride as much as possible. My eldest got me into this malarkey five years ago and I lost four stone whilst gaining a way of life. I was up and out at 6.00 a.m. this morning for a brisk ten miler before work. Get riding and never stop.

Welcome.

I'm a similar age and I don't bounce too well either.

Cheers guys,

"Tea Spoon" as we call him actually likes going out on the bike, bought him a Carrera Blast 24" for his birthday 18 months ago and he's already nearly outgrown it. He did ask if he could have a new bike next year, told him maybe so he came to me asking for an Orange "five O" :shock:

Need to get fit & lose a bit of weight as I'm now mostly desk based at work and it's causing havoc with my back.

Hi from me.

I've recently started to commute to and from work myself so easing my way back into it. I used to play rugby but now I cant play anymore (injury which keeps me off the field but not the bike) I've found that a lump of an ex-prop forward needs to loose some "hibernating muscle" shall we say.
