on my off days im still going for cycle rides short distance, advice guys please???
ultimately i would like to add some mass and get a bit of shape, not hench though, can i add mass whilst losing the pounds or do one or other???

Hi mate - welcome aboard.
 
What to do depends upon your ultimate goals.  Are you simply aiming to shred the pounds or add mass?
 
It may be an idea to post up in the beginners section for some routine advice, the diet section for a complete dietary analysis, and anywhere else you see fit.
 
Good luck with whatever your aim is!

Hi and welcome
