birthday ride
i was off of work today for my birthday and decided to do my age in miles well instead of 55 i went 65 because i got caught in the moment riding with friends and having way to much fun.

Congrats on the birthday+ ride!
I'm thinking we should be able to "bank" any miles ridden in excess of our current age when we ride the birthday ride. We should be able to apply those miles to future b'day rides as they do not get any easier as we age

Great B-day ride. 
The "banking" sounds good but when can the miles be withdrawn???? Something like a 401k and is there a penalty for an early withdraw???

I also had a B-Day ride last month...just last week in fact. And it was also 55 miles (55 yrs old)
And I joined the group again this saturday and did another 55 mile ride
Two weeks in a row....Awesome

I think that is a great idea. I will be 56 in December I just hope its warm enough to ride outside. Just checked the calendar my birthday is on a Saturday. Just started riding a year ago and I did 60 miles for the first time 2 weeks ago.

The Fleche Buffoon ride was on my birthday so instead of doing my age 57 miles it was switched around and I got in 75. It's all good and Happy Birthday.
