I'm an ex-pat Brit living in Gothenburg Sweden. I've recently rediscovered cycling at a more competitive level after having been a commuter cyclist for many years. These days I'm training for triathlons and longer distance road races at a semi-competitive level.
I ride a Batavus Tech 3 road bike that I bought 2nd hand in lovely condition a year ago. I also have a generic mountainbike that could really do with some front suspension! (Did 2 races on it last year and felt that it would be a *lot* more confortable with suspension ;-) )
These days I'm training at home on an Elite Volare indoor trainer - the long winter nights in Sweden aren't conducive to safe cycling. Though I'm looking to complement the indoor speed and interval sessions with longer distance rides at the weekends. I'm planning to do a 300km "friendly" race this summer - Vättern Runt http://www.cyklavaettern.com/english/ - which takes a course around Sweden's 2nd largest lake. It's a race that has 15,000 competitors each summer! Should be fun.
