Hi Kate

Welcome to the forum, I'm glad you can join us.

Sounds like your road biking career, with a vengance I must remember, is off to a flying start!

How funny about the hybrid and roadbike thing. It is one of the most common situations many of us here in the forum have experienced. This new bike of yours, the Eros Donna, is well thought of by many - so you aren't alone in that.

By the way, if you got up to 160 miles in one week, then you are probably closer to doing a century than you may give yourself credit for. Once you are doing rides of up to 60-70 miles, then a 100-miler is probably well within reach.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it here and keep us up on all your biking adventures.

Best wishes!
