A small survey/questionaire for us old farts if you dont mind indulging me (pretty please).
Its just something that interests me.

1. How old are you. Specific/approx or
feel free to ignore this one.
2. When did you get into cycling
3. What sort of distance do you ride in
good weather (thats in one ride).

I will start.
1. I am 72
2. I got into it some 8/10 years ago
3. In good weather I enjoy 30-40 milers.
I have done more but after 35 my
neck aches, as does my bum.

Age 67
First rode as a 5 year old in the mid 1950's
Typical ride between 50 & 60 miles.

My last 100 was an Audax in 2014, my longest ride was a few years ago, another Audax, 120 miles. These days I don't get the time to do the longer rides, I can't get too far from home in case I have to get back
