hi, im from Eastleigh nr southampton, i ussualy do 10 mile rides around my area, my biggest ride is about 40 miles to lyndhurst in the new forest, then a few other places, i am building up my stamina so i can do big rides again, increasing my mileage a few miles each week or when i feel like the 10 miles are getting easy, i dont go to fast my average speed is 9-10 miles an hour!!! although i do like to bomb it when gfoing down hill, my max speed so far on my new saracen hazzard bike is 30.2 mph (downhill) i giess you could call me a leisure cyclist i like to get out into the countryside its relaxing!
