Got my new Canondale F5 Disc bout a month ago but because of work/weather etc today is the first time I have been able to get out on it.

Went to Cleeve Hill in Cheltenham, not the most inspriring place to ride put for a first outing it was good.

Problem is my fitness isn't what it was (for the moment) and I died half way round, weather coming in starting to get dark.

Took 15 mins to catch my breath, and then burned the trail back to the car, not what you'd call downhill, but it was a decent decline down a rocky path, beaming like a cat at the bottom, can't wait to get out again. :-)

    Keep it up the fitness will come :)

    eventually :wink:
  • As Solsurf said, keep it up

    i'd not been out for a few weeks and went out the other night and really struggled to maintain a decent speed :cry:

    Its great when your fitness starts improving but you gotta keep at it to maintain it and enjoy it
