Hello all,
Well at 72 I probably should be comfortably seated on my commode devouring my toastie soldiers and my soft boiled egg, however here I am joining a cycling forum. Memo to self: maybe I would be better off joining a dominoes forum ? Hmm ! Ok, a minor abberation, now lets concentrate.
I live in beautiful North Yorkshire (near Richmond) been here 8 years now (moved from Leicestershire) only about another 20 years and the ‘good old’ Yorkshire folk will stop referring to me as a ‘southener’
I still love my cycling, I currently have two road bikes, a carbon Felt and a lovely Boardman Adventure 8.9. I cycled 5,300 miles in 2017 but plummeted to only 4,100 in 2018. This mileage is shared between fresh air cycling and a Tacx Neo smart trainer using Zwift ( weather dependant).
I have achieved a certain notoriety on Zwift which resulted in a complementary online article on the Zwift community and resulting from this I was interviewed by regional ITV news last year which appeared on the evening news. I watched from behind the settee, modesty prevents me sharing links here but if you are sad enough to be interested get in touch.
I am a big believer in ‘use it or lose it’ and refuse to believe we have to accept a sedentary lifestyle just because we are ‘a certain age’
Ok, I may have lost most of you after the 1st paragraph so I will desist now. Give me a wave when you fly past me on the backroads of Richmondshire
Ride On, as they say on Zwift.
