An ongoing history of slow movement
As I descend into old age and immobility I am going to add memories and events to this timeline.
The activities etc will predate my joining Strava in 2014. As I get into the great declutter I am copying all the entries from my training diaries (in random order). The timeline will be a summary and there will be more detail on the specific year pages
1985
The Beginning
Start of getting fit
Having given up smoking in 1984 I had put on a lot of weight.
So in 1985 I went on a diet and lost three stone. In June I decided to buy my first bike since I was a child.
This was a Claude Butler Audax from PDE cycles in Yeovil and was £300?
I still have this bike which after many changes and upgrades is now fitted to my Tacx Neo trainer
1991
