From: Glynneath, a village in the Neath valley, in West Glamorgan, Wales, UK
Bikes: Raleigh Chiltern 3 speed, Pioneer Venture GT 27 speed tourer, Carrera Subway 8. Sadly I don't like the Pioneer, which though I've had it for over a year, has only been ridden three times, and is still in brand new condition, with the blue grease on
Thanks for coming back to me Anweledig,
You say you've built up slowly to 25 mile trips, I've been cycling now for 3 years, and it's only lately, like today, that I've been really comfortable with 25 miles in one go. What's up with your foot/feet? I suffer from tendonitus in my heels, which doesn't trouble me, at all, while cycling, which I find strange, considering the motion of one's feet, while pedalling?
I envy you that canal boat, I often cycle along the Neath canal, which sadly is not in great repair, and hence no canal boats of any type to see. Slowly the canal society are trying to improve things, a new canal basin has been built at Ynysarwed, but it will be years before any canal traffic could reappear, which is a great shame.
Cheers for now, and good cycling.
