Hello everyone,

Long time cyclist and CTC member here. Have been touring a fair bit in the past, but currently just enjoying riding up and down the hills of Cornwall, where I live. When not cycling or walking, I also enjoy baking, gardening and woodwork.

Hi everyone. My name's Steven. I'm 55 and I live in Cheshire. I've been a keen cyclist on and off for most of my adult life but I'll have to admit that I've switched to indoor cycling more in the last few years for health rather than pleasure and the reason for doing this is because I got fed up with near death experiences on the roads and dog attacks in parks and rural areas (MTB). I do still try to get outside when I can but usually only early mornings or weekends. I look forward to chatting more soon.

Good time of year to do it as long as it's not overly warm.

Hello everyone, my name is JuanFran, I am a Spanish cyclist, riding a bicycle for 30 years.

I work as a coach in endurance sports and biomechanical in Spain, this next year I will be in the UK working for a few months, I would like to meet people to ride a bike together and exchange knowledge.

I was competing for 20 years in mtb, road and cyclocross, now I go out on bike 3 or 4 days for week, also do gym and mobility some day.
