Thanks for the repsonse
HI,
I guess my goal is to achieve a higher level of fitness, and any benafits that occur. not much improvement at the lower mileage but things started to happen over 30 miles per day.
I used to train alot for road racing, running at a very slow level, but with biking and my advanced age it
seems to weed out the competers thru attrition..hehe there not showing or RIP>>
Not sure if there's any race for the over 50 in the area, but hey give me another year and I hope to be A speed bound without the slowing to recover.
The quality of my equipement has been constantly improving thru that learning curve , better bike, better pedals and shoes ,comfort fit on bike and so on.
Where the power is slower to come, I ve noticed when its windy I can't seem to keep up with the more experinced riders yet today I passed them and ran into to them on my second loop.
We don't have a lot of hills locally my guess is I would poop-out on hill in about 10 mins.
