Starting out - Some advice

[dee.jay]

No fair, your average is much better than mine though I am up to 12.5MPH commuting to work now

My first few rides I wasn't even double figures! But you are quite likely to be a lot fitter/thinner than me anyhow. Though I have nearly dropped a stone in the last few weeks

A bit late in the day now, but I did a bit of browsing on the Halfords home page and have fallen for these two bikes.

I've got the cash, but not the space to store them (four bikes in the flat is enough - two each).

This just looks beautiful: http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/road-bikes/boardman-road-sport-limited-edition-2014 as a second/back-up bike.

And this, maybe for light touring: http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/road-bikes/boardman-cx-comp-bike-2014

I might be tempted next spring when I'm back in England.

Been a while since I last posted, and also a while since I last used my bike.

I've stupidly agreed to do the London to Brighton in June with friends from work.

Guess I better get on the bike!

First ride today in a year or so, only five miles to make sure everything was working ok. Got some better padded shorts and so far all good!

Cycling to my girlfriends tomorrow which means I have to cycle back on Wednesday as well!
