After an awful ride out yesterday on my mountain bike - 26 miles of hell on country lanes - I realised that I should have bought a road bike for the type of riding I am doing.
Took a trip to Evans cycles today and tried out a few different road bikes, found them really helpful and not pushy at all. Due to the size of frame I needed I was out of look with the 2011 sale models but really happy with the bike I ended up buying.

Managed to get a discount even on the new 2012 model
Slightly worried about adjusting to the handling of a road bike and also the gear changes but looking forward to finishing work tomorrow and taking it for a ride.
