Back on the saddle... to Cornwall!

[Katy Moon]

Hi all,

My name's Katy and I'm a commuter on most days, but often partake in lengthy rides either for charity or for leisure. I'm on a Cannondale Quick 4 (2013) so I'm good for most types of ride, although I'm not a racer by any stretch.

I'm doing a 300-ish mile cycle to Cornwall in September for charity and so I signed up to the forums to get some advice and a few tips!

So... hi!

Katy.

Welcome to the forum Katy.
My advice.....Be prepared for these Cornish hills,

We’ll be looking out for you, Katy. If you have time look up the Falmouth Wheelers and come and ride with us. (www.falmouthwheelers.co.uk and on facebook.) And don’t worry about the hills, its the pasties you need to worry about.

You'll find the touring section is a good place for advice on this kind of trip. I hope preparations and the ride will go well.
