Long time lurker, first time poster

Hi There,

I'm been a member for a little while but mostly sculking in the background.
Thought I'd get involved and say hi!

About 18 months ago I build up my own bike from bits for the first time (Now I think everyone should do it!).
I cycle to work 4 days out of five and occasionally at weekends.

I've pretty much always cycled in some form or another but always just to get around and see people.

This year I'm stepping it up a gear (pun intended) doing a week long cycle tour (Aberdeen to Newcastle) and the Ride 100.

I love living in North London just as much as I like getting out into the countryside.

That's about it.

Hello!

Welcome Tom.

There are virtually no questions that you can ask here that won't go unanswered. Have fun.

Which part of North London? There seems to be more then a handful of us from there on these forums.

I'm in Stroud Green with a lovely commute to brick lane.

Re questions, I hope so!
I've already posted in "touring" for luggage advice, and also signed up the the London-Whitstable jaunt in a couple of weeks!

Welcome ! Enjoy the Ride London, it is a fantastic experience. I'll be doing for the 2nd time this year. You have certainly come to the right place for tips and advice.
