  1. Brown Maybe a bit of black a little later
  2. Been off the bike for the last 10 odd years, and getting back into it and am wondering is it worth joining a club. I have heard mixed feedback, some guys says it good to get to know routes and set up group rides etc and others saying it is just an opportunity to show off and brag about who has the latest and most expensive gadgets. I am in fourways, and the most convienient club for me is a big national one where I pay a reasonable amount of hard earned cash to join and get a lovely branded Lycra outfit. Any thoughts or informal "club" set ups around the area
