Fifty Plus (50+) - Must Have Been the Shaved Legs

I was recruited as a last-minute replacement as the mountain bike rider on a triathlon team this weekend. The ride wasn't technically challenging--a 10-mile flat, gravel rail trail--which is good, since I rarely ride difficult trails. Actually, I almost never ride my mountain bike at all.

Anyway, the times were just announced, and I won the master's category in the cycling class. Might have to shave again before my senior games race on May 13. Or maybe I should just retire and rest on my laurels. I think I'm gonna get my butt whipped when I face real competition.

Great race and congratulations. Keep shaving...it is the easiest part of bike racing.:D

I'm sure those shaved legs have made you just as fast as lightening:D :D

You'll need to keep them shaved for the senior games. BTW - has the wife noticed yet?

Is the theory the more you shave the faster you go?

If so . . . . .

Congrats!

Thats it. Next event and you go up a grade.

That's great. Must be the legs thing. Are we going to be spending more time on our mountain bike now?

For the big event, I think you should shave your head too!

Maybe the more of your body you shave, the faster you will become, Slick.:rolleyes:

Butt whipped...is that a dessert topping?

Congrats on the great finish!!

Yes Congrats!

I just reread your post. The "mountain bike" portion of a triathlon event was 10 miles on a rail trail???

You could have ridden a road bike!

Well done, JT. :beer:
