    To be honest I only got into
    To be honest I only got into cycling in August, since buying my first road bike (the boardman road comp) I have fell in love with cycling. 2 weeks later I bought my Boardman Pro MTB. then about 4 weeks later I bought my Cannondale which is head and shoulders above the other two. I wasn’t sure if the Cannondale Cyclocross would be ok for the long ride from Newcastle to London… I know I have got so much training to do but I am hoping 8 months should do it . Any tips would be greatfully received ..
