I've been communting back and forth to work for the last 12 or so years now. The ride is only 20 mins each way but I love it... rain or snow. Recently, my BF bought me a road bike (Speicalized Ruby Elite) and thus is why I've been doing more research on websites such as this. Before, I had only hand me down tanks from my younger brother. So having such a light bike is heaven!

I would love to do more longer rides. The longest one I've done so far is 50km with the MS bike Ride 10 years ago (yes, with the tanker bike). Now with the road bike, the longest I've done is only 42km. I would like to ride longer but I find the saddle is killing me. I just replaced the seat with a Jett today. I've heard good and bad things in this website regarding the Jett but my LBS suggest I give it a try for a week. I guess we'll see.

As to my favourite areas to ride, all I've really done is ride down to the seawall to Stanley Park and then loop back out to Point Grey and back home in east van. Have you got a good area you can recommend? I've heard some people said Richmond, but riding over the bridge looks scary.
