Hi, thanks for having me.

I'm an elderly male cyclist that's been riding for nearly 60 years now. Been retired 8 years and get out riding between 2 and 3 times a week. After surgery some months ago I'm trying to build my mileage up with longer rides and so far this year I've managed 7 rides of over 100k.

A ride of 100,000 miles is impressive

That's impressive, I did a 73 mile ride 15 years ago. I slept well that night. Only doing 25 mile round trips to allotment these days as often as possible. "Maker of stuff" what do you make? I enjoy creating too.

In a previous life I worked as a toolroom engineer for nearly 50 years. If you could draw it on the back of an envelope, I'd make it. Nowadays, if I can find anything cycling related that I fancy making then I'll just get the power drill, Dremel and files out and make it.
