Started on 2 miles - now up to 10 miles - got the bug! Love it! (and my little Scott Bike)! XXXX

Well done - soon be your first 20miler, then 40 and so on....

Welcome to the boards.

Welcome to the forums and you'll soon be doing 40 - 60 milers as a short cycle ride

Your best way to get fit for general cycling is to do it every day! This takes no time at all if it is your daily commute. Then, after some weeks or months your daily run will take half as long, and occasional long distances will be easily within reach. When I returned to cycling with a six mile commute, my 45 minute run became 25 minutes regularly, without need for a shower on arrival! and after a few months, a sixty mile Sunday ride was achievable.

Welcome!
I sadly only have a 1.4m commute, so choose to do longer and longer circular routes after work

I am now retired and sadly don't have any commute at all, so all my riding has to be for fun - what a drag.

To get really fit you need a cycling buddy who's slightly faster than you.

Mix it up a bit, Some days flat, some days a bit hilly. And rest days.
Oh, and always with a little treat at the end, be it a piece of cake or a cool beer. It works for me.
