About iWANT2Ride
Whois iWANT2Ride.. My name is Nathan Thadani and I am a freelance web developer. I started my own business in 2002 and I consider myself to be Alert to the latest Website best practices, hence the trading name of WebAlert !
The i is me and the WANT is simply my work initials and my initials..and iWANT2Ride my bike !I live in Northampton and ride around the Shire as much as I can in the summer (I try to do 3 or 4, 2-3 hour rides a week). I prefer to ride in anti-clockwise loops (less turns across the traffic) and I prefer to record my rides in kilometres rather then miles (it's quicker to ride another km then it is a mile !). I'm not an early morning rider, I prefer mid-day rides.. when the suns at it hottest ! During the winter months I don't go out much and I try use my indoor trainer a couple of days a week. I've used Zwift but prefer the real world rides on Rouvy.
I only started riding in 2020 during the COVID lockdown 1 hour of allowable outdoor exercise. It was the first time in over 35 years that I been on a bike (a hydrid Ammaco bike), it was tough at first but thoroughly enjoyable. By the end of the summer I bought my first road bike, a Cannondale Synapse. I had this bike for a 3 years before I sold it to a friend as I'd just bought my Trek Domaine SLR 6 in 2024.. it arrived 3 days before my birthday but I refused to use it until the day ! Another little quirk that I like, on my Cannondale just before selling the bike I'd done 8,811km in 199 rides, so the day before my friend collected it I went for one last 77km ride to leave the final ride data as 8,888.8km in 200 rides !
During one of the Government's daily updates, Jenny Harries, the Deputy Medical Officer, was asked about peoples exercising habits after the pandemic, her answer was 'hopefully they will continue exercising'.. well Jenny I have !
Happy Riding everyone
Nathan.. iWANT2Ride my bike !
