Since we are becoming more familiar with Strava here in the 50+ forum I wonder if any would like to "follow up" with me. I appreciate reading of others weekly achievements and workouts. Also, it motivates me to know others are watching to give me additional motivation to get out there....especially as winter draws near.

Even though winter can be tough up here in Michigan on the 45th. This will be my first winter revisiting my childhood days of snow riding but with the acquisition of a mountain bike, a 2004 Trek 820 Single Track. The "iron maiden" that entraps me every winter wont seem so menial.

Search for: Ryp Hankins to find me.

Okay, Ryp Hankins, following you now!

On Strava I'm Rick @OCRR in case you want to follow me.

Yes, there's a space after the @ sign. No idea why I did that . . .

Thank you for the support, y'all. This will make the offseason more tolerable. I'm hoping to ride right into late Oct and after that I'm on the MTB shaped object.

Will follow. If you're interested I'm Thomas Kirk in Norman, OK.
I have a strong suspicion I'm not in the same league, though.

Thanx for following! I sent one back to you. We need all the encouragement we can get....and that's not to mention the cold season.

The park they meet in is about 4blks from my home. The M3 organizer is a BF member, "Fred". I hope to ride in the spring.

Thanx for the follow! I sent one back to you. Good to see another Michigander!

Thanks for the follow!

And yes, another Michigander... from Saginaw, which I swear is he FLATEST part of Michigan! Just started do races this spring... so not knowing what kind of shape I would actually be in, I signed up for the "flat" 20 mile Gravel Grinder... I can do ok on the flats, but tipping the scales at 215... well, let's just say gravity is not my friend!

M3 is obsessed with stuffing as much climbing per mile as possible. It's good to see them putting a "starter kit" together for riders. I would sign up for the 50k/30mi in the spring, we'll see. I wish you well!

I'm hoping for an easier winter.

I didint spin at all last winter and gained bad weight, terrible situation. I'm really going to do my best to change that this winter.

Following. If you want to follow me, I'll have to approve you. Started that due to spamming from several fellows outside the states. You can find me at 'Steven Adams'.
