My weapon of choice is the Cannondale Synapse 105 (above) from 2015 on which I have covered 11500 miles so far (All rides are logged in Garmin so that I can track them). I have upgraded the wheels to Hunt 4 Season’s, and the saddle to a Brooks B17 which has to be the most comfortable saddle on earth!
Prior to lockdown I was riding regularly and set myself a target each year of covering over 2000 miles. Since lockdown I’ve not been riding nearly as much but I fully intend to lose some weight and get back out again.
My favourite type of ride is known an Audax, which you can read about here.
I also ride indoors on Zwift, a virtual platform which allows you to ride outdoors indoor.
You can connect with me on Strava, just search for me, and I will appear in the search results as ‘Richard Wright, Farnham, England’.
You can also find me on Garmin Connect using : https://connect.garmin.com/modern/profile/richardOracleDba
My rides are listed using metric, so for reference 100KM is 62 miles.
