CTC supporter Alan Thomas gives us his account of a leisurely circuit of the Isle of Wight with fellow riders.
"I didn’t do much cycling prior to 2010, just the ride to work now and then and a one-off London-to-Cambridge charity ride, but in the spring of that year I decided to tackle the Lands End to John o’ Groats trip to celebrate retirement from work. It was a good ride and I really enjoyed it, so afterwards I joined my local ‘University of the Third Age’ cycling group and tried to keep myself vaguely fit by going on their weekly rides around the area.
