Hello from stoke

[Con]

Hi just thought I'd pop in and say hello and say a few things about myself. I'm /me and the good wife have recently taken up cycling to try and get a bit fitter and try to stop my ever expanding waist line lol. I've always been really into 2 wheels but for the last 28 years they have all had engines in them hence the waist line. So a month or so ago we got some bikes (nothing special) and got moving our lardy selves and you know what I'm loving it even though the uphill bits are much harder than I remember but canal paths are nice and scenic. We are already planning some days out to explore a few places.

Welcome to CycleChat.

Sounds like you've both made a good start and pleased to read that you're enjoying it and not being too hard on yourselves.

Hills? Ooohhh, not my favourite either. Never been any good at them. I just have to drop to a really low gear and trudge up them at a snail's pace, leaving everyone else to wait for me at the top.

Cheers,
Shaun
