It's a Bank Holiday Weekend here in England - lots of free time - 20 miles Saturday, 20 miles Sunday, 15 miles Monday morning and 12 miles Monday evening.

I am surprised how much progress I have made in three weeks - lets see what the next month brings.

I think I have worked out why the saddle is so much more an issue than I remember. As a teenager I wrode a cheap falcon road bike with drops - that places the centre of gravity further forward - almost over the chainwheel bearing, so there is little weight on the saddle.

I must admit I hanker after a road bike (an Audax or a light tourer?) so I can get more comfortable, And I am sure I would be using my energy more efficiently balance above the axis of the pedals.

But at 6ft3in and still 15stone I guess I would have to choose carefully.

Any advice?
