Likewise, tend to use the run up to summer to get fitter(after winter) and to iron out any problems(upgrades/maintenance) with the bike etc. So when the good(better) weathers here I have no reason not to do longer runs.

All the best, Scott.

yes i know what you mean about motorist,went out on a ride yesterday with my 11 year old grandson.
he did his first 20 mile ride, but on way back ,got some inpatient idiot in car beeping horn behind him all the time as we had to pass parked cars,so had some very strong words with driver.
