I am having trouble using CycleChat! I thought I had posted on this page a few days ago but apparently not! I have a Marin road bike and do about 30 miles about 3 - 4 times a week. These are hilly miles as the Quantocks and Blackdowns are a tad difficult to avoid around here! Ultimately I'm seeking a small group to do the LEJOG with in April 2015 so ideally I'm looking for some cycle buddies locally who might have that as a goal for 12 months' time. Or.... just some local cycle buddies !! (probably just one evening a week at present during the lighter evenings as my other rides have to fit round my other commitments - so their timings are often last minute...). My average speed over 30 (hilly) miles is between 11 - 12 mph. Hope that gives an idea of what sort of level I'm at! Hope to hear from some of you soon.
