Ride 13\/07\/2014 Loch Leven and T in the Park by Paul_Lund at Garmin Connect – Details<\/a>. <\/p> \n

So after 25 years riding mountain bikes I’ve decided to get a road bike and boy what a difference!! It’s a full carbon bike, ridiculously light and fast and the difference is night and day. Whereas I would average 12-13 mph on the mountain bike, today’s first ever ride on it to T in the Park and Loch Leven I averaged 17 mph which is unheard of for me! I clocked up 53 miles in just 3 hours. When I did this ride to last years T in the Park it took me 4 hours. It was certainly worth the expense and next years Lands end to John O’Groats should be a doodle <\/span> The only bad point is the stupid race seat OMFG I would be better riding on a razor blade. That’s going big time and my Brooks saddle will replace it, even if it’s heavy and looks a bit odd on a road bike, but my arse takes priority! <\/p> \n\n\t\t
