I recently got back on a bike after moving back to London (I lived in Sydney from 2010 to 2014). Before leaving in 2010 I used to spin my legs furiously around London on a Mountain Bike that I bought in the mid-90s when I lived near Salisbury Plain and would spend hours at the weekend riding off road (there aren't many mountains but plenty of mud). I bought a road bike a few months ago initially to commute on and fell in love with cycling all over again.
I have no significant rides to my name. I do have a bronze medal for coming 3rd in the Army over 400 metres on static rollers in the winter season many years ago- there wasn't much competition. I don't know if people even do that any more! I was also part of a team that attempted the world 24 hour distance record on static rollers the same season. We failed abysmally but managed to waste a whole Saturday doing it.
I joined the club ride last Sunday and am keen to get out more.
