I like to regard myself as a fit 59er, And I do have to train hard to keep that fitness--- But not all the time. Since my computer batteries ran out- I have not bothered to replace them So guesstimate milage done from previous rides now, and the only place I am fast nowadays is Downhill.
As I say- plenty of time for high milage training runs- but those gentle rides out with my unfit neighbours are getting more enjoyable- Or will be when I can get them up to a 20mile round trip so they can buy the Pies at the halfway point.
Gary- Trust you, Not only do you get a half decent bike for a pittance-- You get it in Pink. Not my choice of colour but what a "Babe magnet"
