After being Ill most of this year Im finally getting myself back into shape thanks to a great bit of 90s steel
Shes a C philipson special built 531 racing bike and Ive just started clocking up the miles (around 10 to 20 miles a day weather permitting)

Dang that bike is fresh and 10 miles a day not in shape hahaha i bearly do 5 not really into bikes iam a skateboarder for life i do 10 to 15 stair gap a day lol
10 miles may sound alot Fp but its only to work and back each day (hard going at 4.30am in the crappy UK weather though)
I use to race mountain bikes, I did cross-country. So I use to get in at least 250 miles a week. 150 miles of those was riding 150 miles back and forth to work. I rode 3 days a week to work doing just over 50 miles so just over 25 miles each way.
But now I work in London and no longer race, so I try to get a quick hour in when I get home in the evening. Good exercise, beats going to the gym.
Had a few weekends at Dalby forest on the North York Moors with the mountain bikes its a great day out but hard work when your used to the flat road.I try and get a decent ride most days but Im thinking of a turbo trainer or rollers now winter is upon us
