Hi everyone I am new here

Hi FurryDuck!
Where in England are you? I live in Essex, near Colchester. If you are anywhere within reach of me, I'd be happy to join you for a ride or two. And I'm veeeery slow! I ride alone most of the time, but am always happy for a bit of company on occasion although I do love the time to myself too. Very good for contemplation. I've been interested in perhaps doing some of the sportives too, but haven't had time to prepare for any this year......which one were you planning on?

As for doing the sportive by yourself, I'm sure you wouldn't be alone. I a charity ride here in Essex last summer (40 miles) and was never alone although I didn't know anyone before turning up. There will be other riding a similar pace and people are generally friendly.
