Hyde, GB
78 year old cyclist and walker, living in Winchester, retired medic.
In April 2016 I did the end to end with my friend Michael Nelson, 1000 miles in 18 days. Read Michael's blog of the ride here: mickandnick.wordpress.com
We both used Thorn touring bikes but for shorter rides round Winchester I usually use a fixed wheel Holdsworth or an old Raleigh ladies' rod braked roadster that I have converted to a fixie.
In July 2018 I ruptured my right Achilles tendon and I am now ( Feb 2022) back to near normal strength.
I have switched to recording most of my rides on Strava now I have a smartphone
