| Currently: Moderating! | Yea, this is training for my 470mile ride from Edinburgh to London! We average 70m a day so was impressed with that. Also did it to go see my girlfriend and save on train costs, and had a job in Reading on the Sunday! Doing Exeter to Bath next Sunday. (Got a job in Exter on Sat and staying with GFs and her grandparents for the weekend.) (cyclings fun, but it sucks working 9-5 mon-fri and weekends!)

![]() | WOW very well done, the other day I done 15 miles in around 1hr 45 minutes. On a very well maintained full suspension bike........... and that killed me. I hope you werent feeling to sore |

| Currently: Moderating! | nah not to sore! If your doing long distance do not use a bike with suspension. Take all your power out. Most of your pedle power gets softened by your suspension and therefore makes it harder! Thanks though!

| MJ lady with maracas | Not bad that for over a few hours I should be cycling to a meeting and back this weed (60 mile round trip) but my bike isnt behaving, and 3 hours of trying to fit new parts resulted in me finding out chainsets have changed their design slightly over the years....
