Greetings from Taunton

[Reborncoyote]

Hi all .... a late and recent convert (at age 56) to road cycling following my son taking it up 3 years ago. Don’t go in for racing but enjoy the occasional sportive and rides out with mates in the beautiful West Country with plenty to go at with the Quantocks, Exmoor and Blackdowns all around. Am looking forward to riding the Eroica in October on a recently acquired Freddie Grubb!

Hello and welcome.

Hello and welcome from this Taunton-born lad! Having seen the Freddie Grubb in the other thread, I shall look out for you in October.

Welcome from me too. I lived near Taunton for several years and cut my bicycle commuting teeth on a Raleigh M-Trax bought in Shepherd's Cycles in Wellington, cycling along the lanes between there and Taunton for my first 'proper' job.

The M-Trax is still going strong 20 years later...
