Hi, real name Linda.

I was a member of CTC (Liverpool) a very long time ago and (unbelieveably now) used to
go on the club runs and trained every night. Those were the days! We now have family
membership.

I have a shiny new 'comfort' bike for everyday use but still have two very old racers, one
of which will eventually be back on the road. I have given my daughter and grandson bikes
and like to drag them out. My son is a member of the RAF mountain bike team and refuses
to believe he takes after me

Although not currently fit enough to attempt club rides, I do hope to be. 20 miles a day is my
limit for now. I'm also aiming to do the battlefields charity ride next year.

Thank you, obviously I need new glasses too lol

Just returned to cycling after nearly 40 years. Although my new bike is a
comfy ride, I thought I would spruce up one of my old racers. The tyre sizes
are confusing me though. The tyre is marked 28 - 622 700x280. I can't work
out what size to buy. I've looked at all the charts and I'm lost
TIA

I have a Mont Blanc Hi Mount 3 cycle carrier (from Argos).
Once you get the hang of it, very easy to adjust for your car.
Used on a Polo, Mondeo, Astra and now a Colt.

Hope that helps,
Linda
