And a hello from Worcestershire

[AndyPeace]

I like being a cyclist and tinkering with bikes. I cycle short distances daily, mostly for practical purposes, and ride all weathers. Although a cyclist of some 20+ years I've yet to really push myself. I'm now planning to build a race bike for the purpose of raising my fitness, skills and Range ( and as a pre-birthday treat, I'm 40 nxt year!)

40 years old? Mid-life crisis? Bike is a better option than the others, IMHO.
I'm 41 and started riding properly 3 years ago. Don't regret it one bit. Time to get yourself fit ready for a deteriorating body.
Whereabouts in Worcestershire are you? It's my favourite riding countryside - flat bits in the middle for long rides and hilly bits round the outside for a challenge.

Welcome to the forums!
Good luck with building your bike, looking forward to seeing pictures.

Hi Andy, welcome to the forum.

There's a fair few of us from Worcestershire here, I'm from near Pershore myself. How about you?

Good luck with the bike!

Thanks for the welcomes!
I'll be sure to find somewhere on the forum to show off my new build but its early days yet. Great to see Worcestershire folk about. I'm in Kempsey
