Hi all, just seeing if there are any people out there who know of any good routes to take or that i could possibly join them on? I am just starting out so i'm not sure now long i will last although i do already have a good standard of fitness. Just not on a bike. I bought my bike in November and have traveled to work a few times but now the weather is getting better i fancy venturing out further a field.

I have done the Manchester > Blackpool a few times in around 4 hours but i always get cramp for the last 15 miles. Might be because of the lack of cycling i did before hand or because i was on a mountain bike :S i suppose i had youth on my side to help. Still i'm only 25 and with my new road bike i'm looking into joining the world of cycling :smile:

Please reply to this thread or email me at kieran@ktaylordesign.co.uk

Thanks

Kieran

Ey up Kieran, another Prestonian here.

There are some cracking routes up to and around Beacon Fell, or around Leyland and Croston if you prefer flatter rides. You don't have to go too far to get onto quiet roads.
