I didn't say that.

And even though I am not Lance Armstrong, I can say whatever I want, and you don't get to talk down to me like that.
And if I wish to go for a long ride, it doesn't matter that I am a professional or not. Riding is not restricted to professionals/experienced only.
I am a beginner. I will be slower, I will make mistakes, I will learn. But I am not forbidden to ride, and therefore advices are most welcome.
