I am more a commuter than a long distance rider. Probably should have done more prep than 10km trips to work and one 40km ride. Will give it another try another day.

I live in Toowoomba, Queensland. I wanted to ride into Inglewood, Queensland because of this long story... 17 months ago I told my dad that I was thinking about riding again and he offered me his old hybrid bike. It was an ok bike but the tires were crumbling so I asked if he wanted to give me new tires for Christmas. He did and when I opened them on Christmas day my grandma made a snarky comment that I would never use them. She was kind of right because I had spoke issues with the hybrid so I got a mountain bike with different size wheels but she was kind of wrong because I have done over 2000km since. She lives in Inglewood so I wanted to do the long ride there to show her how wrong she was.
