Hi All.
I bought my first (serious) bike back in '96, a 'Univega Alpina 502' and have used it daily. For ten years a ten mile commute + most w/ends off road, until I got a knee injury a job locally and a 1 mile commute. All of a sudden I'm middle aged and feeling it.
Had a bit of a health scare last year so packed up smoking, gone on the wagon and rebuilt the bike
. Even built my own wheels
.
Started going out for rides in the evenings with my daughter and we have benefitted enormously.
Hmmm, I can feel a road bike coming on. Carrera TDF looks good to start.
I would like to do some longer distances (perhaps 100miles/day) maybe leading to a JoGLE.
Any suggestions for a training programme?
I'm 48, 15st and 5'11''.
