This guy is aware that as a FiftyPlusser, you are a Titan of Cycling....certainly in your age group. Can't imagine anyone other than a jerk blowing off somebody whose top-end HR might be 30 or 40 beats below his own. Especially if he's an experienced cyclist. There are all kinds of rides, everything from take no prisoners to a low gear "bike walk". I've even heard of social rides where people discuss politics, etc. while tooling along at 16mph and come back refreshed and content.

No need to make every ride a test of worthiness, skill, toughness, cyclomachismo.

You two might just have fun and begin a productive relationship and lay the foundation for other rides.
