The longest rides I've done are 50 miles, but I can only manage about 14mph average. So annoying when I think I'm going a decent pace and get scalped. I think the club rides round here go minimum 16mph over 50 miles and they are the beginners so I'd have no chance. Still it's great exercise..

I bought a Hybrid bike four years ago, a Scott Sportster.
I've only used it once this year because of my shoulder but aim to be out again very soon.
I certainly can't get anywhere near drive4show's times for 8.6 miles, but that's 'cos I'm an old bugger!
The only things I've bought for cycling, after the bike, are two water bottles, good lights, a good helmet & an incredibly bright yellow jacket! Okay, I sweat a lot, but at least I'm seen easily!
Cycling's great ........................ enjoy.
