Cycling

Hi, I'm pretty new here, living in north Leeds.  My husband is a keen cyclist - cycles around 12 miles to and from work every day, plus longer rides at the weekends.  He wants me to go for rides with him, but I'm just not fit enough to keep up with him.  I'm wondering if there's anyone in this area that might be interested in somewhat gentler cycling trips.  Or in discussion of cycling in general.  I would like to get fit enough to eventually try a cycling holiday in Europe.

I dont live in Leeds but DH and I have really gotten into Mountain Biking over the passed 2 years and love to take trips to the Lake District and around our area on the weekends.  I know road cycling is not the same as mountain biking but I'd participate in cycling discussions  We love it and its a wonderful hobby to do as a couple.

I don't ride a lot - just with my dog in the mornings - but I have done and hope to in the future.  My DH is an avid cyclist so it's definitely part of our lives (as i look at the 9 bikes in our garage!)

I love to ride in the country.  It is so relaxing!

Well, I thought we had a lot of bikes in our garage (7), but it looks like you have us beat.

It sounds like you are in an area with nice quiet roads, since you take your dog with you.  I wish we lived in a less congested area.  Once you get out into the country it's ok, but it can be a bit traumatic until then.
