Introductions

[Carvill73]

I think most people know who I am, but just thought I would kick off the introductions.

I have been cycling for years and enjoy everything from Road Racing to BMX. I have now lived in Brigg for over ten years having moved from the Peaks. I originally set up Lincsquad in 2007 which has grown to be a hugely successful triathlon club and which I am still very much a member. My passion however has always been the cycling and wanted to also create a user friendly club that not only attracted seasoned cyclists but also encourages people to give the sport a go and enjoy the social side along the way, so hence BDCC was born.

So look forward to getting out there with everyone.

Never heard of you

I take it nobody else is brave enough!

OK, I have been asked to introduce myself upon registering, so here goes!! I have been cycling for about 2 years and have taken part in 3 sportives over that time, but usually just enjoy getting out there for a ride. Previously did a bit of running. I have lived in the North Lincs area for about 35 years now. I am a Sports Therapist by profession. I have treated one or two club members I think!! Work demands mean I don't get chance to get out cycling that often, but hope to get down for a ride with the club at some point in the near future. It is great that Brigg has a cycling club and it is great to have joined!!

Andy, you've lived round here for longer than that haven't you?

[Andy C]

Nope!!! I could n't believe it was that long to be honest!!! Well done yesterday at the Sportive mate!!

Hi there,

My son Aiden and I are newbies to the club. Thanks for making him feel welcome a week or so back on a Sunday ride.

Great idea (and not for the first time Paul) to start a Brigg based cycling club. The numbers you're getting on club rides proves it's about time.

Good luck with the club and I hope to join you on a few club rides myself, shifts allowing.

Cheers Steve, a big welcome to you and Aiden.

Hi all, I'm Dave.

I've been out on a few club runs so I thought I'd better introduce myself properly. I've lived near Brigg for just over 11 years after moving from Stoke on Trent. I much prefer it here!

I got my first proper road bike in 1989 after being inspired by Greg Lemond in the last stage of that Year's Tour. I was a member of a local club in Stoke and raced on the road ( I was a struggling 3rd Cat and my best ever finish was "in the bunch") and did 25 mile time trials, occasionally going (just) under the hour. But that was a long time ago.... I've ridden a bit of track and am accredited at Manchester Velodrome, but haven't been for a few years. I also dabbled with mountain bikes but kept falling off. A lot.

These days I mainly ride Sportives, around 6 a year, as part of training for a week in the French Alps in the summer. In 2013 I completed La Marmotte which was the worst and best 10 hours I've spent on a bike. Planning to do it again in 2016.

Thanks for the welcome, see you out on the road.

Dave
