Greetings fellow Cycle enthusiasts, as you can tell im a newbie to these forums and im also a newbie to Cycling more or less. I grew up in and still live in Fife. I used to do a lot of cycling when I was a teenager (always on a mountain bike) and then I decided last summer to get fit and get back on the saddle, I was told about an even called Peddle for Scotland which in my eyes sounded like a great thing to do raise money for charity etc etc and so I borrowed my brothers racer a Giant OCR2 06 model (which I have now bought off him). I completed said cycle in September and had a great time if not a bit lonely.
I work 55 hours a week including the weekends so getting out at the same time as other people is probably the hardest thing.
I have now been cycling for quite some time, lost a stone in weight and have been loving getting fit again, I usually aim for one cycle a week doing around 60 miles all in fife. Im beginning to wonder about entering some Cycle sportives etc and have been looking around for information.
I just wanted to let you know that this has probably been the best and most informative web site/forum I have ever been on. From day one I have been coming on here looking at information on training and kit etc and I just decided to actually sign up last week.
So it’s a big thumbs up from me J and seriously keep up all the good work. Cycle chat is a very friendly place to be and when I look through all these forums I can see everyone has there own opinion and everyone is allowed to voice that opinion. Love it

Stephen-D and 
. There are a fair few of us on this side of the country and even some in Fife - as you have no doubt noticed 
) near to Jane Smart et al in Dumf and not too far from those of us (sofisticates [sic] 
! Many congrats on your weight loss too 
) the weather improves, keep an eye out on the "CC and Informal Rides, Clubs and Events" thread, where you will see details of the next CC Ecosse Ride - probably another RV, where we agree to meet at X place and arrange our own routes to and from.
