NEW rider!

[BigMac]

Hi guys!

I'm not 'new' to cycling as the title suggests, been cycling since I was a nipper, and road riding for a few years (with a rather unhealthy break in between) and getting back into it now!

Was just after some information really, I'm super interested in becoming a ACC member, (got the jersey and everything! ), was just wondering what sort of rides are available for a, how shall I say, less active indiviual? Ha. Or should I wait a while until my training has boosted my CV?

I'm also doing the ASDgiant in about two weeks, wondering if anyone has done this, or is doing it this year? I'm only doing the 44 miler, but I think i'll still struggle! Lol.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Big Mac.

Thanks for the reply!

I will certainly check out some of those rides! Attempted two laps at Richmond Park earlier, was near death! haha.

That's ace, Phil!

I managed a sort of 20-30 minute lap time at Richmond, but the hills were killer. Tracked in on the Iphone app Strava, which is wicked!

I'm doing the GSD giant in little under 11 days time. Which is a 44 mile (novice) ride, but there is a 100 miler for the extreme!

Although I struggle to do 20 miles a day, it'll be a bit tough, but it's an experience and a for a good cause!

I will deffo look at these easy rides with ACC, can I just tag along before becoming a member, or should I source a membership first?

Try the JustforFun ride on Saturday 1 September for starters. If I can keep up with them, aged 76, I am sure you can!

A Lap is approx 7miles, with some pretty tough climbs.

Okay, thanks guys! I will try and get along to one of these rides!
