ive had my bianchi via nerone for pretty much a year now, i cycle to work most days and cover 23 miles a day although i take a shorter route in the winter!, ive been through two computers and my overall distance is pushing 4000 miles , done the longest ride ive done today at 55.709 miles and nailed it in 2h43 13s at an avarage of 20.5 mph does this mean im no longer a road beginer?

    Maybe you stop being a beginner when you answer more questions than you ask?

    On the other hand, I've been cycling for thirty years, and I still feel more or less a novice.

    but if the people who answer the questions all hang out on the other forums there'll be no one to help the beginners :wink:

    I'd say that after everthing that you done you are now not a beginner, you've lost that virgin feeling to the initial questions and your comfortable with your lot - it's not exciting as it used to be i.e. you are now married :lol: to cycling

    I don't think you stop being a beginner until you have done at least 56 miles in one ride ....
