All I can think of when I see him is "When I get to his age, I hope can ride like that guy." He's got my respect! Plus, I saw him at Barnes & Noble once and I got a good look at his legs. They're like tree trunks!
On our Saturday club ride, we divide a rather large turnout into different speed groups. You would be amazed at the number of over age 60 riders who pull out when they call the 26 mph group, and then the 24 mph group. BTW, my legs look like a mounting platform for feathers!
