Longest ride to date!

Yeah I've only had this bike myself for a couple of weeks...onwards and upwards! Thanks for all your encouragement guys, I guess seeing tons of people writing about doing 60 / 80 / 100 mile rides is a good motivation for little guys like me!

I've had mine 3 weeks or so, started with struggling with 6 miles and then last weekend I did just under 41. I probably increased the mileage too far so this enforced week of little cycling has been good for the body

But it shows the progress you can make pretty quickly, but try not to over-do it like me.

Keep up the good work!

Tis all about the padded cycling shorts

Yeah I got some muddyfox padded shorts but think I over embellished with my vision when I got 'small' size they don't really reach the places needed!

It just gets used to it. A decent pair of padded shorts and it makes it a bit easier.
