Good day to all 
I've just arrived in UK two weeks ago from Malaysia to study. Used to go off-road back home with a few mates occasionally and picked up road riding from working part-time in a bikeshop (bikepro). The boss was kind enough to lend me his Pinarello Prince to join a team relay duathlon in which I finished 50km in a very unimpressive 2 hr 20+ min.
I'm hoping to give road cycling a go over here and improve my riding...but that will have to wait until I get enough money for a decent bike
Anyway, I'm currently in Watford living with my uncle before moving to Uni of Hertfordshire's student accommodations on the 18th of this month.
Pleased to meet all of you
Cheers

Hi I am from Nottingham, having ridden a bike many moons ago I have decided to buy another bike and hope that I can sit on the saddle long enough not to fall off.

Hi everybody,
I ride in Buckinghamshire, England! I only have one road bike, so all my riding is on the road, which is a shame because i hear there are some really good trails round here.
Cheers!!!!
