Thanks guys for the sentiments but honestly in bike terms, 64 ain't that old. There are others in 'E' grade who are 70+ and can kick my a$$. Anyone who knows Colin Appleyard from the Hunter region, knows what I'm talking about. I've raced against blokes in my age group (cat7) who win masters 'B' grade. Gold medal winners at world track meets.
The reason I like bike racing so much is because of this competitiveness. It's bloody hard to make an impression amongst talent like that.
Come down to Eastern Crk Raceway next Sunday and have a go, you'll be very surprised at the level of excellence. Great track to race on.
Racing starts at 7am.
