Cycle Sportives

nice one daccordi - I think I'll do the same, looks like there will be a few forum-mongers doing this.

out of interest, did you end up joining a cycling club?

I'm on the verge of doing so, probably the Rolla gang... would be nice to sign up for future rides as a club member

Yup joined Dulwich Paragon, its been brilliant theres loads of rides to go on and everyones really friendly. I can't recomend it enough. Having regular rides going on makes it so much easier to get out as you don't have to think about where your going and its good to be with other people. I mainly go on the mid week chain gangs and the early Saturday ride that is aimed at sportivers. If you stay south I'd recomend you come along for a few rides to see what you think
