Thanks, everyone! No pie, but did have a birthday cup cake to celebrate a friend's 70 mile ride which was what started my challenge. Now that I've done 73, I know I can do 100 Think I'll wait for some cooler weather before attempting that. Regarding a golf score matching my riding distance, around 87 would be about right.

Well done, Mam, very well done, the cup cake is more my speed anyway. 87 is nothing to sneeze at for a golf score, either. If you get over to the Escambia County area give us a shout so we can organize a ride for those in the area.

The best I've ever done is 82 for 18 holes. I'm happy just playing better than bogey.

Cool!! It'll be 12 years before I can even attempt something like that.

At 83 and 93, you'll be glad you were a better cyclist than golfer. My motto is 'focus on what's important'.
I rode a century at 60, but doubt I'll match your 73@73. Congrats.

Great job Lookinup. However, I may have some bad news for you. If your birthday was last year, your biking age may be considered to be 74. My birthday was last Nov and I turned 73, but every time I sign up for a race they say I am considered to be "74". :-) :-)
