Think it's just gonna have to be down to test rides on the end as you can beat actually riding and getting the feel before buying. | |||

I will compile a list of FCC members over the next few days and post it here. Anyone who then wishes to be added or removed can then let me know.
We can then discuss and decide where we go from here; Strava group, maybe a social ride etc
Thanks for all your responses so far, this is looking promising.

"Hiya Im a keen cyclist ride a Specialised full carbon rd bike. Ive been cycling for about a year as swimming is my first passion. Cycled about 130 miles this week. Going London to Paris next year.
I did that last year, just got persuaded to do it in 24 hours. Strangely enjoyable, especially on the French side, was a glorious day and arriving at the Arc De Triomphe was properly satisfying.
240 miles in one day are you kidding me!! "180 to be fair. Left Marble Arch at 3pm. 60 miles or so to Newhaven. Overnight ferry to Dieppe and 120 miles to Paris. There's a really nice smooth tarmaced green route that goes about 30 miles south from there which is a really nice ride. Arrived at the Arc about 3pm local time the following day, Damn I want to do it again | |||

"I recently bought a new bike as getting soooo fat. It's a Giant and I love it. I also have a mountain bike but not used it for years. I just need some motivation as not much fun alone! Give me a shout maybe we could organise a ride out round your neck of the woods. You're kidding right! You are way out of my league x" No I am not kidding I can cycle at the pace of the person I am with and it's a lot more fun two people rather than one. It's upto you. | |||
