Welcome to the Steemit community @johnriv!

Good to see you enjoy getting out away from the computer screen. Much respect to you for your intended bike ride from Lands End to John O'Groats. At some point on that trip, your legs are going to be killing you.

A couple of Steemit tips, ignore the automated bots, they do nothing for you and just earn from your votes.

We love original content! Many other newcomers try to cheat with copy and paste from other websites.

Be patient with building an audience. Steemit is not get rich quick scheme. It is about the people the relationships you build here.

For many new people, the voting and points system seems complicated at first. Here is an excellent post and entertaining video about how it all works.

Welcome aboard and full Steem ahead! =)

Thanks for the heads up. :)
I feel I have a small learning curve to negotiate!

You do, but you are a software engineer, so I believe you are up to the task ahead of you. ;-)
