Been riding for about 3 months now (always did use a bike just not a road bike) Just done my PB 45 miles in 2:45 mins. Nice ride out went to st annes pier. Then the heavens opened, still only 22 miles home :? I must say I prefer dry to wet weather!! Want to build up to around 120 miles in a day as I want to do bowness and back in a day, so hopefully by next spring I should be there. I get out twice a week and usually do 2 1/2 to 3 hours at a time. The new bike is a revelation, ribble sportive with ultegra. There wasn't much wrong with my old road bike a peugeot super vitus 980, just a bit old (like me!) The ribble is just so much easier to ride, I've upped my average by 1.8mph over 30 40 milers. Still only at 17mph though not quite "tour" standard... :cry: Still I'm only young....well a young 51, so plenty of time to up that average eh?
