DnvrFox,
I have a co-corker that is 4 months older than me. I have been telling him about our own
Wil Dehne riding across the US 100+ mile a day, Jonathan Boyer (50) leading the RAAM
Men's Solo - Enduro, David Jones (60) rideing RAAM for1295 miles in 5 days and 2
hours. And my own example of how I have improved since August. His answer is he is
too old to ride a bike.
People sell themselves short because of what they think a person can do at a certain age.
It seems to me when a person is surprised at what you can do they are not belittling you
they are expressing what they think they can do at that age. The quality of life they expect
is so much less than it could be.
My view of what I can do is not based on what others think, but on what I have
accomplished and the next logical step. And it is this bicycle forum that gives the
encouragement to take that step when there is doubt. Thanks DnvrFox for keeping this
50+ forum going.
