Hey Thanks Marco.

I used to ride with you guys most Saturdays for about a year and a bit in about 2009/2009 ish but due to having a motirbike accident and then having twin boys and my job I totally had to give up pretty much everything.

My new bike is currently on order, either a Trek 2.3 a Trek 2.5 or a Biacnhi Via 7 Nirone Veloce. I've got to nip down to test them all to decide. My last bike was a Trek 1500 /Ultegra.

My plan is to start cycling to work again then hopefully get some fitness back for the Saturday rides again then I plan to get into some Cat4 racing with maybe the Surrey Cycling Leage. Im nipping down to Goodwood on Sunday for a look.

Had some fun totally re-ordering everything for my bike, treated myself to a Polar CS500 CAD, (the wife thinks they cost £19.99)
Wheels, hmmmm, Whoa, Wheels, arent they great, Already wanna upgrade, Been looking at the Dura Ace 24 and HED Ardennes SL and possibly going back to the Kysrium SL's.

Been a fantastic tour also, with Cav being awesome on the sprints, shame he got deducted those 10 points and the 20 the other day, i really wanna see him in Green as he is one awesome sprinter.
Also thought the A.Schleck attack yesterday was awesome, fantastic to watch and repsect to C.Evans. I really think whoever wins totally desereves it this year.

Anyways, I hope to see you one Saturday morning with my nice new bike for a break in ride to the cafe. Be gently, Ive not ridden for 2 years, :-(. Also hope to be doing the London - Southampton ride for BHF in August.

Enjoy
Simon

Thanks Marco and hi to everyone.
I'm new to cycling, a typical mamil it seems.
I'll be looking to join the beginners group in the club ride from August.

Wow

Simon Roberts, a full plan I like it :D .Just 1 thing :shock: Telling wife it costs X amount when in reality it costs XX amount....women KNOW the cost of Everything, so you may think you have had one over one her (No pun intended) but the wife will use it in years to come as ammunition in one of those akward situations when she is putting you to RIGHTS over something else................

good question - PM Marco and I'm sure he'll sort you out. Don't use you full name but do use a name that identifies you.

cheers
