Hi,

I've just taken up cycling again after 15yrs of health probs. Years ago I used to be keen road cyclist but now that I live in Exmoor national park, I'm more interested in riding trails - albeit ones without too many steep hills just yet, till I get my fitness back!

I have recently bought myself a new hardtail and so far, have just been doing quite short rides, locally. I'm lucky to have great local scenery, and it makes me feel so ALIVE to be out and about on a bike again after all those years. Maybe our "nanny State"should make cycling compulsory

Anyway, I'm currently cycling alone, so am looking for cycling buddies, particularly ones who might be in the area. Although my current level of fitness is low, I hope to change that as soon as possible!
