rode my age + 16
I skipped work on Friday (the day after my 51st birthday) and went for a ride. I was going to do 51 miles. I ended up doing 67 miles. Legs hurt like heck, but feels great.

Hope they did not miss you at work.... and glad you could keep the riding season going with your birthday ride. Since it was the day after makes sense that you would go further............peace

I love my sun EZ. It's just cool enough to get the "cool bike" statements form people I pass and it's a lot of fun to ride. Also, the EZ-Sport looks a lot like the stingray I had when I was 12.

Thanks for the inspiration
Gew0419,
Thanks for the inspiration. Memorial day is my 60th, so today, on the Memorial weekend, I set out to ride 60 and finished with 71. I have a lot of 7.5 mile legs of my daily 15 mile commute, but nothing long. This is a great start to the season and a super boost after doing almost no riding last year. Thanks again.

Congratulations. Sounds like a great ride. I'm ready to get out on some long distance rides, now that my son has graduated.
