anyone out who regularly rides in the consett area by themselves wanting a training partner - you may have found one.

I have both mountain and road bikes - i try and do most of my training around the Derwent Reservoir area on the road but it is starting to get a bit lonely, i am 45 mind so dont expect Lance Armstrong.

Currently in training for the CTC and Great North Bike Ride so trying to get some decent miles under my belt, also do quite a lot of hill work and when it is fine on a morning a bit of speed.

45, bit old for a bike arennt you, surely the Ramblers would be better.

Best of luck with the training though.
