This thread has turned into a whole debate about what is or is not best for those overweight and unfit (and for people who've already mentioned it, dan etc, it is entirely possible to be overweight and fit). When what I really wanted to find out was whether or not there were rides that catered for such riders. Not 'oh come on the Dunwich Dynamo, pack a banana, you'll be fine' withstanding such kind but possibly misguided attempts at inclusion from already fit (in comparison) riders.
But there does seem to be a smallish group of people in a similar situation who'd be interested in doing regular rides. It might be worth putting a separate thread up or joining the one on the Ladies forum, but if I do start a group it won't be called anything like Fatties Against Gravity (much to Will's continued and deserved displeasure).
