I feel like a kid again when I am out cycling. Well, kinda--I have infirmities I didn't have as a kid; and I don't have the stamina I once had, of course.
Last year I rode 2,700+ miles, & my aim is to exceed 3,000 this year. I already have gone a third of that.
Welcome.
You are going to have to be Geezer, Jr., or Jr., Jr., or Jr., Jr., Jr. - as we have several folks older than you are (including myself) - Robert Gardner is 83 and rode over 2,000 miles last year with one leg - he is my real hero!
Congrats on the riding. Like you, I didn't start until my late 50's.
Hope you make your mileage goal. It is fun having a goal to reach or aim for!
Man, they play rough in your part of the country. Guess I would carry a gun, also.
We need to form a "Geezers Club"!!!
Enjoy the forum.
