Hi,

Please welcome a Forum novice, so I'll also apologise in advance for any formatting errors, Un-PC statements (mind you I've seen plenty of those), and any other things that I may inadvertently do in the future. There, my lawyers are happy. Anyway, to the point:

Does anybody fancy joining me in bike rides around the area above? The idea is to, once or twice a week, get out and have a good ride from anywhere between 50 and 100 kms, and who knows, maybe more in the future. I enjoy a ride by myself, but it's better for enjoyment, morale, competiveness, support etc etc if you are in a group of 2 or more. And there's much more incentive to actually go out on a day that's slightly inclement if you are meeting your friends.

My personal goal is to be able to compete in a few cyclosportives next year. I entered 3 last year and it was great, although the enjoyment factor far outweighed my standings in the results! If you've never entered one before, they really are superb. Yes, of course, there are the decent riders, but towards the back (from 1st hand experience) they are a very friendly bunch. Actually, they all seem very friendly. However, don't let this talk about cyclosport put you off. If you've no wish to join in cyclosport, then that's no problem.

To give you an idea of my standard, as similar standard riders would be ideal, I tend to average between 22 and 28 kms/hour, depending on the terrain and my level of fitness. Consider the lower end of this range to be the most accurate at the moment due to lack of fitness! So, if you are keen to ride and maybe want to improve and get a bit fitter, then reply to this post.

I live in the commune of Luchapt, and so anybody within a radius of, say, 30 kms or so would be great.

Cheers,

Starless (I'll get round to a signature and a picture soon)
