Hi,
I've just recently started taking my cycling seriously following many years as a runner. Suffered an overuse knee injury in January and it's taking a long time to heal so decided to try something else. Was getting a bit bored of running anyway...
Bought a Trek 1.5 about 4 weeks ago and have been using it for a 23 mile round trip commute for work 2 or 3 days a week, and longer rides on the weekend. Did my longest ride yesterday at 46.9 miles, was quite pleased as it was really windy, and the gusty side winds nearly saw me underneath more than one car!!
Next Sunday I'm doing the Great North Bike ride and i'm going to carry on riding through Autumn and Winter to be ready for some of the longer sportives next year.
At some point I'm also going to go along to my local bike club but I want to build up a bit more speed and stamina before then.
Anyway, that's about it really, just wanted to say hi!
Phil
