Away 11th May (Caledonian Etape bike ride) but will keep in touch if another date is settled on. Sunday afternoons good. M

Probably better to borrow a bike from a friend first to see if you like it, then buy a second hand one. All those bikes that get taken in Kingston Town Centre must be going somewhere. lol Road bike with racing handlebars to join those lycra clad boy racers on the road round the park or a mountain bike for the more down to…

How long since you rode a bike? You should take a friend in case of wobbles, it's more fun with two anyway.

There is a new place at Roehampton Gate to hire bikes here is a link. I haven't used the myself but have seen lots of people in the park on their bikes which look good quality. http://www.parkcycle.co.uk

Sorry me being stupid, thanks for tolerant reply, Teddington is my nearest one. Just back from ride round Richmond Park in very strong wind, nearly blew me off but burned 1332 cals in 2 hours so lots of supper tonight!

Hi Kelly where does it happen? Sounds like a good idea to get off the plateau I have hit after a year of MFP. martin

Hi nice to hear a familiar accent lol. I'm from Retford long time ago and now in London. Going to Brit Floyd concert in Clumber Park this weekend, first time up there for years.

How about starting counting from today? 11th August : 20miles off-road along River Thames Home-Twickenham-Richmond- Kingston- Hampton Court-Home

Lived in Leeds for a few years that was great!

Winter draws on in October then (another layer of lycra I think)

Been doing this about 7months now, lots of cycling through all this rain and cold, but today summer has finally arrived in London. When do the clocks change?:glasses:
