Hello.
I recently brought my road bike via the ride to work scheme and I have the cycling bug big time. Really enjoy it. My daily commute to work is just over 11 miles each way. Had a nice 22 mile ride yesterday as I was off work and another 13 mile ride today.

Planning to do the London to Newcastle 24 hour ride In June for Macmillan cancer research in memory of my mum that passed away in January.

Anyway thats me

Hi and
A very good plan indeed.
I'm glad you're enjoying you cycling.

Welcome, good luck with your training!

Good luck with your ride and training. My advice is Don't be a lone rider all the time, try and join a local club for some group rides. It brings a whole new dimension to your cycling.
