Hello from Accrington

[Derekoak]

I am retired and now mostly run because my wife finds cycling more difficult due to arthritic hands. She could not pull cable brakes on hard enough any more so had to walk down hills! We bought her an Isla bike specially made for old people with hydraulic disc brakes, step through frame, single chairing 10 speed block, light aluminium frame, flat handlebars, small adjustable brake levers, still mostly we run. So sometimes we run for 3 days through the Alps to my bike, dropped earlier, so I can cycle back say 80 k to get our camper. Or we run to a point where we have left our bikes, say on the Welsh coast path, cycle to a lunch point at the camper, cycle on to another point, run back, get the bikes, find an overnight spot. Then repeat the next day. We are 3/4 of the way round now, just the south coast to do.
We must downsize our house soon so I must sell a Challenge wizard 2 wheel recumbent when I have maintained it.
