I got another ride into work this morning. I was late getting started, so I had to push faster today, Made it on time and got to add an additional 7.2 miles to my ticker. By the time I go home tonight, I'll have less then 100 miles to ride to meet our challenge!

Sounds like you need a hybrid bike. It has the handlebars like a mountain bike and in-between tires. It's what I ride since up to a few months ago, I lived on a gravel road and had to ride 2 miles of gravel to get to the highway. It also works well on the trails near me that is made of crushed limestone.

that sounds just about right! do you reccomend any brand / type etc? Thanks! :flowerforyou:

I'm partial to Trek bikes but there are lots of good brands. Any good bike shop will match a style of bike to what you tell them you are using it for. There is a very wide price range. I'd say your best bet is to go to your local bike shop and they will be your best help.

Thanks. I have a Trek and love it. I think I'll do a bit more research and head down to hte bike shop...! Thanks again.
