Hi all, relative newbie here.
Bought a bike just under a year ago to have a go at road cycling to shift some weight and get fitter. Had a decent summer, then a lazy winter
Back on it now, really enjoying getting out and about around the Warwickshire/Oxfordshire border and occasionally the South Downs when visiting family.
Have signed up for a 56 mile Sportive in July, longest ride so far 44 miles but normally doing 23-27.
Bike is a B'twin Triban 540. Pretty much as bought, I have just changed to a Charge Spoon saddle and some SPD pedals to try out clipless.
Still very much finding my way, especially with kit - I've started at the super bargain budget end (Aldi/Decathlon/eBay) to get me started but I have to admit I've had no real issues with any of it.
Anyway, hopefully not TMI for an intro
