I rode today. I am at our condo at 9,600 feet in the Colorado Rockies. I rode from Frisco to Breckenridge and back - only about 20 miles. All uphill getting there, and then a ferocious headwind on the way back as a front moved in so I had to peddle downhill. No fair!
As I got back into Frisco, the Ride the Rockies crowd of 2,000 bikers was coming through on their next to last day.

I had very mixed feelings. I did the RTR when I was 58 and 59 yo in 1998 and 1999 - then had some health and other critical concerns, and haven't ridden it since.
I am just not sure that at 64 yo I could do it again. Wife says SURE you can. Nice to have a supportive wife.
Anyway, I felt as if I had had a "Passage."
I think that next year I will be in such good shape by June that I will know I can RTR, whether or not I actually do it. That would make me feel great.
Anyone else had some passages in your biking life?
