Maybe you can hook up with some of our UK gals for a ride like my neice, UK Eliphant. She just completed this 544 mile charity ride in June. She trained in England.

India is flat, right

Thanks for the link. I had an email from your niece - I was looking for a cycling buddy. I think she is in Essex?

That is a bit far away but you never know...we might meet up some time.

Kristine, one of the general rules of thumb says that you should be able to safely increase your mileage by 10% a week. So, you can slowly add mileage to your daily rides. What keeps you from riding longer? If you have issues with being comfortable on your bike, a proper fitting might be in order.
