In the past few weeks I have resurrected a old friend. A Saracen Hardtrax mountain bike first purchased almost 17 years ago. This once faithful travelling companion has been languishing at the back of a garage for a good 14 years, progressively decomposing back into its original elemental state - that is until a flight of fancy, a nostalgic synapsis firing (and to be honest the price of petrol) must have coincided with some kind of planetary alignment and the decision to save the bike and re-kindle my old passion of riding up and down steep hills in the middle of nowhere was taken. I hope to once again be a cyclist!
The climate for cycling seems to have changed a lot since I last used peddle power (I am definitely older, and hopefully even a little wiser), and in this blog I hope to share some thoughts about whats changed and what is the same, and what cycling is like the second time round.
