Hi ! My name is George and I've been lurking around the 50+ forum for awhile. I spend most of my time in the Northeast Region, Tri, and Road Forums.
AGE : 50
BIKES : I have 2 Zipp2001's left in my bike stable that I ride. Have owned 9 other bikes over the years. The bare carbon Zipp comes off the road, and the flamed Zipp goes back on the road for 2011.
TAKE ANY SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTS / VITAMINS : Doe's ice cream count.
HAVE YOU SLOWED DOWN : I've lost some off my sprint, but still like to treat most of my rides like time trials and hammer.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN CYCLING : Started riding as a teen, then raced at 19 until 40. Took about 5 years off 2002 - 2006 running my business, but missed the bike so much I sold the business and now work for other and get to ride a lot more.
WHAT TYPE OF CYCLING : 99.9% of my riding now is done solo, my short rides are 25 miles, and my longest this year was 139 miles. I tend to do rides that have plenty of climbing, I really enjoy hills.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU RIDE : Not as much as I would like, but each year back on the bike I have been able to increase my millage 5206 miles this year.
OTHER ACTIVITIES : Lots of walking with my wife.
