Hi all,

I'm an avid cyclist, and today did an 80K ride just for some organic veggies. Holy Mother of God, my legs are burning... But, as I was cycling across a bridge, the sun was beginning to set. Something hit me - "My God, this is the life. Just me, the bike and the open road."

At the moment, I don't have a proper touring bike - that is one of my life purchases, something I definitely want to buy. I wouldn't mind splashing the $2000+ to get a good one. Complete with paniers, and all the toys.

In the last three months I have put just over 680KM on my mountain bike.

So, I was wondering, are any of you avid cyclists? Is there anywhere you would recommend? A particular trail/route? Do you have a favourite type of bike? Why?

Cheers,

hawky.

Well done, Hawky!

Apart from getting a good workout, you sre doing some good for Mother Earth...

You derserve a round of applause from me...

Bravo!

You a cyclist, too? Viper?

I used to, many years ago, when the believe that the Earth was flat...

I do occasionally cycle, but that is for leisure and fun... and to show to the girls I still got good legs!

No, not the way you would do it, friend. Thats a young man's idea of fun...

I use to cycle for miles when I was a boy, nowadays if it hasn't got an engine I don't want to know.
