 BP> When I come back from our planned Journey later in the year, I'll have
 BP> a look into it....I see a lot of talk about century rides, it seems to
 BP> be on the mind of quite a few people. What's actually involved in
 BP> doing a century?
 
Simply riding 100 miles at one time.  This doesn't mean you can't stop
and get off the bike for a rest stop or break.  You just do the ride all
in one day.  I was talking to a friend this afternoon and she said she
might train for it with me.  That would make it more fun.
 BP> of all kinds of goods:-) which means I'll be looking at a special
 BP> hybrid? hehe 
Sounds like it might just be the one.  Mtn bikes are nice for rough
surfaces and riding at night, but a hybrid is a nice compromise for road
riding and as a utility vehicle.  Everyone I know who has one likes it.
 BP> not very keen on the racing bike type wheels. Have you any experience
 BP> with hub geared cycles? Also saw, would you believe it..hehehe a
I'm not familiar with the name.  They could be on my bike and I wouldn't
know it. :-)
 BP> Bicycle Computer, cost RRP A$37 with 4 functions. That's the smallest
Oh, get one with more than 4 functions!  Computers make riding more fun.
 BP> dough. But for the run of the mill commuters, most of the cycles come
 BP> from, have a guess....:) from the Tiger countries, all the same places
 BP> most of our cars come from.
 
That's new to me.  What are the Tiger countries? :-)
 BP> Thanks Leah, it was a good one, I'm still riding my bike, aren't I:-)
Yeah, Yeah, YEAH!!! :-)   I hope I'm still riding when I'm 80!
Adios for now,
Leah
