Hi all,

Very new too forums in general so please be gentle with me!!!!!. Took up cycling (road) last year, mainly to get fit after stopping Rugby, Commute and have and try Sportives and Tri's. Doing London to Brighton this year so looking for advice / training tips for this and my future planned adventures on two wheels.If anyone down my way has good routes etc please contact me.

My ride - Spec Allez Sport - Love it but now in the hunt for my first Carbon around 1500 ish. Thinking Focus Cayo 1.0 / 2.0 or Cube Agree GTC Race.

Cheers

Ashy

Hello!

Those Cube Agrees are very nice, IMHO

 

[Ashy]

Thanks for my first welcome messages. Appreciate it.

Edge705 - it is a lovely part of the world. Good cycles routes South Downs close by and best of all the sun's out a lot at the moment - glorious.

Sittingduck - I, pardon the pun, Agree with you. I really want to see a Focus up close but my LBS don't stock them. They do have the Cubes - very nice. I'll probably start a new thread for more opionions views and other bike models to try. Just got to figure out where to start it and how!!!!

Hi and welcome to the forum we too ate doing the London to Brighton for the second time but as a family team of 7 should be fun. Best training methods just ride and enjoy it. Building up the miles.
