young enough to enjoy pedalling again
Good day a to you all.
I found my old bike in the garage and decided to put it up for adoption as I hadn't ridden it in years. Tires still held air after about 12 years so I took it for a short spin down the drive and next thing you know, I'm back to cycling every weekend for 60-90 k rides with a club. And enjoying it just as much as I always did. I wonder why I stopped? I can't remember. It must be because my over 50 memory isn't as sharp as it used to be!
My ride is a late 1980's Miele 12 spd. road bike with old shimano components.
Now I think I need to lust after something younger!
