Nice wheels Lard -- it looks great.
Anyway, I have been putting it off for ages but today I bit the bullet and went out with a cycling club. The Plymouth Corinthians to be precise, a club that has been going for more than 100 years! (when was the bicycle invented?)
Anyway, I turned up at this place they meet every Sunday. There was a group of around 25 people - all ages, shapes and sizes. Half the group split away after about 5 miles as they were off to do 60+ miles over the hills. I went off with the old timers who were just planning to do 50!
It went OK actually. There were a couple of stops for punctures and one tea stop but I did 52 miles -- only a few hills. I reckon it was about 3.5 hours of cycling.
I can confirm you do cycle much faster in a group. I am knackered though.

you "reckon" it's about 3.5 hours cycling! Didn't you time, measure and log every last bit of Garmin data?
Oh dear, a cycling club...
sounds like a group of very senior men with big moustaches. Still, I can imagine it's good to ride in a group. I had my first test-ride today, though, still indoors on this home trainer-thingy. Completely different from my gym work so far, feels like I'm back to square one. It just made me wanna go outdoors, do the real thing. I'm sure my bike felt the same.
