Hello, Live in Blackpool area.
Starting cycling about a year ago. Mainly commuting to work and back ( 15 mile round trip which takes me 20-25 minutes one way). Did manage to complete 3 organised rides last year of 45,50 and 60 miles without any problems. Have entered a few more this year,and would like to build up and do the Manchester 100 in September.
At the moment, I ride a Claud Butler Urban 200 which is about 5 years old. Have change the tyres for road tyres.
Would like to get a new bike this year with a more road/touring feel to it. Though must have a rack on as I have to carry alot of stuff to and from work. Like the look of the Claud Butler Dalesman if anyone has any thoughts?- have a thing for Claud Butler as my Grandad swore by them, he went all over Europe on his as a nipper he told me!
