In March I was a commuter and a total novice at riding any further than 10 miles. Then myself and a couple of pals started exploring on our bikes at weekends. Went from a 20 miler in a pair of jeans with a spare inner wrapped round my waist (nearly killed me) to a couple of 75 milers (nearly killed me) and venturing out for a Christmas cobweb blower yesterday in my spangly new SPDs (nearly killed me).
I love riding my bike. I now feel really down if I miss a weekend ride. Shame I left it til I was 35 to start doing this stuff with any regularity.
This year's plan: Brighton. Several exploratory centuries.
If I'm brave enough: A couple of forum rides (I don't have a fixed - or even a ss at the mo, such is my stable) and I might even introduce myself to the TNRC.
