Greetings, fellow cyclists!
Thought it about time I join a decent cycle forum, both as a source of knowledge, and to meet like minded people.
I haven't been cycling long, about a year and a half in earnest. My partner decided to start cycling to work on a bike she bought at a car boot sale for £25! That got me interested, and when she got a new bike, I started using her old one to commute to work myself, and it's all started from there really. Both of us do a lot of cycling for recreation and find it thoroughly enjoyable. We've been on many long distance rides, the most of which was 72 miles.
Through successive bikes, tyres have got thinner, and I seemed to have developed a natural pull towards road cycling. I had a Cannondale 400R Warrior road bike (before it was nicked unfortunately ) which was wonderful to ride; smooth, fast and so well balanced. That got me hooked! To replace it, I've just bought the 2012 Cannondale SuperSix. I wanted to get a bike that was way beyond my ability that I could grow into. I also wanted a worthy successor to my old Cannondale and I have to say this does the job! I got it Saturday and have only been out on it 3 times, all short distance below 10 miles, but it's a lush ride. Well pleased with it! Both my partner and myself are doing the London to Southampton bike ride this Saturday, which is around 80 odd miles. Should give the new wheels a good run!
Look forward to sharing experiences and knowledge with all of you as I progress to the next level!
