Hi
Just thought I'd drop by and say hello.
I 've been hanging round the forum for a while in current guise and also previously with login details that I forgot long ago.
Used to race on and off (badly) in the early nineties and worked for a while as a mechanic at Chevin Cycles in Otley.
Bit of a luddite (bikes lost some of their magic with the widespread adoption of aheadsets and disc brake mounts in my slightly deluded view) and suddenly got a hankering to restore and ride an Orange Clockwork with thumbies and rigid forks. I've not ridden mountain bikes properly since forever having been overtaken by triathlon (also done badly) and CX bikes and riding fixed off road :roll:
Just entered Battle on the Beach in April and fancy doing it on something a quarter of a century old.
I'd love to know about rides round here or even offer to help organise if that suited.
All the best
Andy
