Hi,

New here and new to cycling. Saw a poster in Cycle Heaven and thought it would be a good idea to find a few like minded.

Bought a old Raleigh of a mate for £20 six months ago to see if I could get into cycling at all...just use it for a 3 mile run to work.

Found it ok though..so recently bought a Boardman comp.sc on a c2w scheme.

Bought a few bits from the rally last weekend and went out for my first proper ride..about 20mile I think.

Would like to get out on the beginner club ride at some point. Can i just turn up or do I need to be initiated?

Thanks

Rick.

Rick - you will be made more than welcome if you come along for a ride. No initiation, in fact no pressure to join until you are sure Clifton is for you.

There are a few pointers to help you pick the best ride to start off with on our getting started page

http://www.cliftoncc.org/about-us/getting_started

From what you say I would recommend Willys Easy Riders first. Then maybe try a Kevin ride on a Sat. Willy be able to advise you on whether Kevins rides will be suitable.

If you PM me your email address will pass it on to Cath so you will receive the weekly updates. And also forward to Willy.

Lastly if you enjoy your first few rides with Clifton our membership page!

Any more questions just post here and am sure someone will be able to answer.
