Hello, I have just bought my first bike to try and get fit mainly. I went for a hybrid and picked one up on our local for sale directory. It is a Raleigh M600 and really seems to suit me at this stage. I have no past experience with riding other than as a kid, but have shed quite a few kilos in weight so I now feel more comfortable sitting on a bike to get myself into shape. I'm hoping to get lots of good advice on training strategies and health and well being using bikes so am happy to join in on any threads. I am not a racer or wannabe although I do intend to participate in some social and set events like the Sydney to Gong ride which is in November so the clock is ticking for me to get focussed and make sure I can finish the ride in one piece. I look forward to chatting with soem of you over the next few months. Cheers Gluggy

So good to have you Gluggy.
