New to all this!!!! & A Big thank you

[Freddie]

Hi All,

I am a new member and got my membership card through yesterday No 700.....sounds like a thick 007!

Basically my knowledge is limited when it comes training, diet (dont get me wrong I'm not in bad shape), bike care etc and wondered if there were any books I could buy which would cover most of these subjects .

I feel rather stupid, but my love for this new found sport is giving me the attitude of I dont care ! IM LOVING IT TOO MUCH TO CARE! but I realise I need to look after myself as well as the machine so any tips and pointers in the right direction will be much appreciated.

Can I also say a BIG Thank you to everyone who has made me feel so welcome!

Regards

Freddie

Re bike care, have a look at the Park Tools website where they have a lot of good how to's with pictures - [url=http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help]here[/url].
Also the manufacturers of the various bits websites are useful as you can often download instruction manuals etc or get the recommended torque settings etc.
