Name- Becky

Location- Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Age- 22 (perhaps too old for this forum )

Cycling Goals- I basically want to use cycling to improve my overall fitness as it's a sport I thoroughly enjoy. I also want to participate in Around the Bay in a Day and the Great Victorian Bike Ride this year and not get so tired on them that I don't enjoy it.

Racing- Don't race and don't want to..unless I get really good or something

Average miles- I just started cycling again recently and do about 20kms a day. Will be doing around 40kms on the weekends. Will step it up each week.

I think that's everything
