Hello, I'm new.
Hi everyone,
I am 68 years old and have always ridden a bike (built my first one when I was about 14 years old) but since last year have spent more time out and about the country side, coastline and the Wolds of Lincolnshire in England.
I also have an interest in family genealogy and devise routes around the places where my ancestors lived, worked and came from making a bike ride more interesting.
I have 4 bikes, a racing bike which I use on my rides out, a mtb for knocking about around town and when I take the grand-kid's out, a 1987 Raleigh Kelloggs Pro Tour tracing bike which I renovated last year and a 1950 gents Raleigh which I will be renovating once I find out more details ie make, model, year of build/manufacture etc.
I have in my garage at present 8 bikes for when the grand-kid's come and for any visitor who might like a ride out.
