Hi from Oxford, UK

Just about to enter the world of Road bikes with a Trek 1.2

I'm an ex rower who needs an alternative to oars...

I'm looking for general advice on getting started...
Distances, journey planning, extra equipment, guarding against injury and general do's and don'ts

Any good links, websites, articles or advice gratefully received,

Thanks a million,

Mark.

Hi Mark

Would be looking for a local club, CTC if looking at slower distance cycling, or a local road club if just looking for road riding, very specific to Oxford you have https://www.cyclox.org/.
