Hey thanks everyone for the encouragement and support. I can tell you it has really changed my attitude and I am looking at this from a very positive angle now, rather than looking at things from the negative side.
Another plus note is that yesterday I was out in the car and saw ( I am more observant when I see a cyclist now to see what type of bike they have) no less than 3 people I would class as clydes, all in full gear – shorts, shirts, helmet, etc. And there is me thinking I am the only one around here......
Once again thanks for the support and above all encouragement...
