Thanks for all the welcomes! I do love a forum
Just a little more about me - I've currently got a Ra1eigh mountain bike. I really didn't look into things much before I got it. Don't get me wrong, it has done me well but it isn't very light (I'm only 5'2" and 8 stone). I've just bought a Specialized Vita. I hope that's going to be OK. I think a drop handle road bike is a little beyond me at the mo. I tried out a few beforehand and this was the best I could afford. It feels very right IYSWIM? I also think up till now I've been riding the wrong sized bike I pick the new one up on Saturday and can't wait!
My daughter and I will be doing the Prudential Ride London on 3 August. Our bibs arrived today and she is really excited. I'm just wondering how far I can get her to ride. So far the most we've done together is 12 miles.
I'm sure I'll be on here lots to ask more questions (there seems to be so much to learn!)
Just sitting here watching today's Tour highlights - that descent looks pretty hairy
