Fifty Plus (50+) - My thighs hurt.

Today was my 70th birthday and even though I have not been riding as much as I would like (weather) and even though it was windier than I would like, I felt like I had to do the obligatory 70 miles. Did that - now my thighs hurt.

Jim

Just incredible Jim. But I'm sure it has to be a good hurt.

Good thing you do't live here in WV 6 this morning with -18 wind chill. Congrats on the ride and happy birthday.

:bday:

Glad you had the chance to do your ride on your birthday.

Congratulations on a great accomplishment. 70 miles is nothing to sneeze at, especially at this time of year!

When I grow up I want to be like you :)

You da Man! :bday:

Here! Here! to your Health and Happiness on your birthday!

Cycling a fountain of youth =)

Great report!

The best therapy for sore thighs is warm deep dish apple pie with vanilla ice cream. :D

Now go look at the obits and find someone who died at 69. I bet their thighs don't hurt. Feel the burn and enjoy!




Well done. :)

Truly wonderful, Happy Birthday.

:beer:Happy birthday, Jim!:beer:

I'd be happy just to feel ANYTHING when I'm 70!

:bday:

Great job Jimbo.

:bday: Good hurt.

It's True. As you get older- you start losing your mind. 70 miles in February. Just hope I keep the sanity to do my January birthday ride in April or May.

Good ride but don't forget to get out and do a few gentle miles today as a recovery ride.

Well, done, sir! Now to round out the birthday celebration, go get a massage for those aching thighs. Happy Birthday!

Sprinkle some vitamin I on top of the ice cream on your birthday apple pie!

Dude! You're my role model. Hope you had a good one in general. Many happy returns.

Congrats, great ride.

I once thought that instead of riding *my* age on my birthday I would try to ride the age of the oldest member of this board.

Nope, bad idea....too much work while I'm "young," I'll build up to it!

Excellent!!!!

Happy Birthday!

Jim,

It shows you are still alive and kicking. Good job.

Kudos! Happy birthday! Sorry for the sore thighs, but that's the good hurt, way to go! I aspire to be just like you when I am 70!

Wimp!!! You'd better start training now for your upcoming 100 mile ride, with pie at the end of course!

Jim Congrats & Happy Birthday, you probably rode 70 miles & then go shot a 70 on golf!:beer:

Congratulations... Birthdays are good for you - the more you have, the longer you live ;-)

All the best and many more!

Congrats and Happy Birthday!

If I did 70 miles today, nothing would hurt. Nothing would hurt because you can't feel pain when your lying in a ditch unconscious.
Happy Birthday, and remember next year is 71 miles.

This is an amazing group!

Thanks for all of the kind words.

I have just turned 50, and if I had done what you have done EVERYTHING would hurt! :D

I also want to be you when I turn 70.
