hi all
well today i picked up a cheap secound hand coyote route 66 bike (http://www.cbccarspares.co.uk/coyote-route-66-road-bike-3702-p.asp) which i won on e-bay
just to see if i could get the hang of the drop downs ect before speding out a few hundred ££(i am used to a mountain bke) ready for my 15mile comute to work
so i took it for a spin and managed to clock up 20miles in an hour and a half which i dident think was to bad for someone who is 16stone and unfit
things started to get a bit numb around the 8 mile mark so i sliped on a gel seat cover which i had the hindsight to take with me and that worked up to the 14mile mark then it all statred to get uncomftable again but worked through it to get up to 20miles and most of the time my hands were not on the lowest point as riding for to long like that gave my back a twinge
i was stuggering for the first part with winds as i was riding in the fens where there is no protection but when the wind dropped of in the more protected areas i was able to get up to 21mph quite nicely
so all in all a sucsess
regards
lee
