Long time lurker here but thought it was time to stop being rude and say hello.
Bit about me, relative newbie who got back into biking with the kids etc, really enjoyed it and for the last few years been doing 10 to 15 mile rides on a mountain bike mostly along canal and river banks locally. Bit by bit I got a little fitter and can now complete my 10 mile usual circuit in 45 mins, when I started it took over an hour....
I want to extend myself a bit more and get into road cycling so the cycle to work scheme at work has tempted me and I have ordered a Specialized Secteur as my first roadie as the less radical geometry better suits my 44 year old frame lol.
Any useful tips on realistic goals I can set to build up for a possible 100 mile ride next summer.
Cheers
Ian
