Returning
Hi, I'm Burr
Going to be active again. I'm 76 (12-24-41) and retired in the Philippines.
I "try" to cycle 25 miles 3 times a week in a cemetery (no Traffic). I also lift 3 days a week (Kettlebells & Cable Machine)
I use to be very active here then got on the FB thing!!

So ... you are not returning to cycling, just to swamp-riding? 
is that a really big cemetery or do you just do a lot of laps?
(I actually know of a cemetery in Mass. where I used to ride some---smooth roads, almost never traffic, varied terrain, great grooming .... but 25 miles would have been like 80 laps.)

I'm only 67.5yo and know for sure that your activities are far beyond what I will be capable of IF I make it to your age. Rock-On

Says Old-Try-Guy who does multiple centuries per week .... you and CarbonFiberBoy and a few others just post here to discourage the rest of us, I think.

used to walk at lunch thru a cemetery. some of it was kinda sad, like when kids would bring mementos such as a baseball & write notes to the deceased

I would imagine that cycling in the Philippines is either urban and very dangerous or rural and potentially suddenly pavement-free. I can see why a well-kept two-mile loop with no traffic would be ideal.
