I'm back.
My word I'm unfit.
Going to have to do that more often me thinks. Won't live past 50 at this rate.

Only about 10 miles.
Before I learned to drive I was doing 45-50 miles on Saturday and the same again on Sunday. Might not sound a lot but that was on a heavy full sus bike with downhill orientated tyres.
With a decent road bike I'm sure it would have been into 3 figures but road riding is/was no fun.
The guy next door but one to Deniece works in Salford and rides to work. Takes him an hour each way. Might start doing that if the weather holds up. Even more cash saved.

My brother is still well into it though. He enters the Midland Super series and usually gets into the top 10 in class and top 30 overall. Not bad seeing as the only training he does is in the pub.
