i have been thinking of changing my MTB to a road bike for one, it's small, and i have been cycling in the gym and trying to go on the road for more free training rather than the same spot. Any suggestions, fellow bikers?

Not sure that many other people are trying this necessarily but seemed interesting....

Lachlan Morton rode the whole Pony Express route himself, St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento (about 3,200 km), in 6 days, 21 hours and 15 minutes. The fastest horseback relay in 1861 used a fresh rider and horse every few stages, and he still beat it by almost 20 hours. Video: EF Pro Cycling.
