Firstly let me say I'm 54 years old, 5 foot 9 inches and weigh 267 this morning.
I was out yesterday doing laps of a local park. It's 1.5 miles for each lap. My wife and I rode to the park from home and she locks up to run on the track. I'm starting my first lap and as I pass an older gentleman on a road bike. I say, " on your left" and " good morning" and continue on my way. 5 laps of the park later I pass him again. I'm about to say " on your left" when he says to me, " I can't believe your faster than me. " As I was laughing I said to him" I'm just having a good day today."
This man looked to be in his seventies. It's great to ride a bike. We all feel like kids again.
