I have been a CC member for 10 years now and am reflecting back on what I was doing then and now, so here goes:
In 2011, I was still working as Driving Instructor ( my own school) during the day and teaching French in the evening . When I restarted cycling after a 30 year gap, I first bought a cheap road bike which punctured every time I was out due to rubbish Kenda tyres so took the plunge and bought a Specialized Allez which I still have and use as my winter bike now.
Move forward 10 years to 2021 and I am now fully retired and have two more bikes in my stable: A Specialized Elite Roubaix and a Cube Peloton and soon to add Trek Domane.
I have also built a new shed in my back garden dedicated to housing my bikes.
So, tell us what you were doing when you joined CC and what you are at now.
