Hi,
I'll be taking up cycling again as the weather and daylight gets better.
I haven't been on a bike for probably 10 years now, however I did do a bit of cycling when I was much younger.
I've still got my first serious bike gathering dust in my garage, a 12 speed Barry Hoban. I've also bought a Chas Roberts frame and slowly putting together with as good spec as my budget allows. I treated myself at Xmas to a brand new Scott CR1 and will be using this to some longer charity cycles etc.
The Chas Roberts will serve two purposes for me, firstly to get into learning about maintenance and building so I can look after the Scott and also as my main commuter when I start to cycle to work and do some short lunchtime 5 - 8 mile sessions.
It will take me a while to get up to speed as I'm very unfit, but hopefully by July/Aug I'll be doing around 40-50 mile trips and pushing on to 80 miles next year. That's the grand plan anyway, so will see how it goes.
I'm based in Milton Keynes, so if anyone is local and fancies some slow short rides starting in April/May, your welcome to join me in my slog to cycle fitness!
Cheers,
Andy
