My girlfriend started cycling on the roads about 3 months ago in the build-up to an ultra event next summer (London to Paris in about 4 days). Just hoping to garner some tips and advice from you fit folk!
Any experienced road cyclists out there?

Have done a bit and starting to do more but on my mountain bike until I manage to snaffle a cheap 2nd hand road/tri bike.
Lon-Par is pretty straight forward I believe. Few guys at work have done it and none of them are very fit. You do need to do the training though as it is a fair old time in the saddle.
Anything in particular you were looking for.

Not a very helpful lot are we! I haven't got anything to add really, apart from to say that a comfy saddle and padded shorts are a must! I've never done cycling over about 10 miles - that's far enough, thanks!
