Well, it’s been a while coming but I’ve decided it’s time for a change.
I love riding audax, but for a while despite trying everything I’ve found it increasingly difficult to get comfortable on an upright. I’m alright for 200k, though usually the last 20 is a bit of an ordeal with backside and hands. 300 is as far as I dare go.
i’ve decided that I love the cycling more than the suffering so I’m going to try a bent.
I don’t expect to be going out riding 100’s of miles straight off the bat but I hope to train this year and tackle LEL next year.
ive found a bachetta giro which is going to be a bit of a project and my first one. I’ve got my high on a high racer as well. After so long on a road bike I’ve kind of convinced myself only 700c wheels work properly!
Any tips, best bikes for purpose, how to get bent legs etc?
