i agree with hammerite, but don't too big a ride that's beyond your capabilities. eg used to riding 50 miles, 75 is ok, 85-100 maybe pushing it. Just don't do long rides with folks who are much more fitter than you, you'll get a serious pasting and have to struggle back at their pace. saying that, that's how I learnt. Oh! those good days as teenager, being ush back for 40 miles by the older lads, falling asleep on the living room floor, walking down stairs backwards, bliss. |

It's only right that if I have an Italian bike I get some Italian kit, right?! Is this what they call the slippery slope?......... |

idio
Good bit of advice next time you decide just to go for a quick 10 mile spin make sure you stick to it and not do 30 mile with 500ml of water and 1 power bar squeezy gel to get you around Still the sun was shining and warm if a little bit breezy
