So in the last week or so I've decided to hop back in the saddle and take up cycling again. Been a few years, stopped because of Uni, and work, and just got lazy. Taken it up again, and rediscovered my love for riding on 2 wheels. Also hoping to lose some kgs and get somewhat 'fit' again.

Anybody else on here cycle regularly, commute to work, or cycle for just fitness. Some forumers might even race and be part of a cycling group - feel free to post in here your experiences, and tips for cycling, routes, rides, and general biking.

So yeah, just taken it up myself. Currently riding a Giant Boulder 4 (2012), which I think is a bit of a mountain bike-road bike hybrid. Definitely a mountain bike, but it does alright on tarmac. Can get up to a decent clip on flat roads.

Tomorrow I'm going to be doing my first proper serious ride. Riding from my place to La Perouse & back. It's a ~40km round trip. Might be riding with a friend from work, so incorporating the trip from my place to hers, and vice versa on the return leg, I'll probably be looking at 50kms all up. If we do end up doing the whole route, the legs are going to be mighty sore on Tuesday!!! :lol:

I know there's already a cycling thread dedicated to the Tour de France, and various other races, but this thread is solely for if forumers cycle themselves.
