After a very long lay off (20 years) I’m back on the bike. even during those long years I always considered myself as a cycllist, I just wasnt riding a bike at the moment. I’m now 48 and hoping to enter a few local TT’s to see if I can get any where near my old PBs of 21.38 and 55.37. (on steel bike with, 36 spoked wheels, toe clips etc) I doubt I’ll do it it but it will be fun trying!

That 21 years beats my 18 Dave. I stopped racing shortly after turning senior, now racing again and just turned 40! Very inspiring to see how age is not the barrier it once seemed.
