Also, if weather and carrying stuff permits, to my Mums, which is a bit nearer. The other day I did about 16 miles. Trying to keep up some sort of momentum.<br /><br />I am considering reincarnating my ancient 70s road bike but it will need Kevlar tyres as it has very old ones on just now.Campfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573797205145907726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-20942217560211086732012-06-12T21:41:12.294+01:002012-06-12T21:41:12.294+01:00Three cheers for you, Verity!

I think you ought to treat yourself to a more lightweight bike, you seem to have got the bug.<br /><br />If you want a ladies' only bike ride that can be a little competitive if you want it to, look at the site Cycletta. Backed by Victoria Pendleton, they organise several rides over the country. Last year I participated in the one Cycletta North, at Knutsford, Cheshire and was pleased to say came around 210 in a field of over 800 participants, doing it in 1.34 for 40k. I was chuffed at my age, and not very frequent training sessions. There are pictures of 'Cycletta Bedfordshire' which might inspire you.<br /><br />You look such a young thing!Campfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573797205145907726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-46067261100008928812012-06-11T21:40:41.890+01:002012-06-11T21:40:41.890+01:00Congratulations!!
