hmm, that sounds ok then. What would you class as a 'longish ride'? 50 miles? If it matters, my commute is 5miles each way, a few slight hills.
50 miles sounds good. As I recall, I spent most of that heady first summer doing 50-60 mile rides out of London. Lovely way to spend a weekend. Ride to Oxford, ride to Cambridge, ride to Windsor, ride to Brighton, ride to Canterbury, or just pick a compass point and see where you end up. Just don't ride to Eastbourne.
