Long-distance Bicycle Training

Perry Winkle · 01-20-2007, 12:01 PM

Ok, I'm a cycling newbie. I'm pretty fit at is it but I'm not sure if I'm to the point where I can cycle all day every day. Anyone who's done long-distance or competitive cycling have any tips?

I also have some doubts about my equipment. I have a Trek 4300. It's a mountain bike but I read some advice that said I could replace the front forks with rigid forks and be okay. Overall, it's comfortable enough for the short rides I've done on it. But I think I'll go to the bike shop and test out some actual touring bikes.
