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?.........

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 :)
