Congrats. I turned 60 Aug. 9th of 2011 and posted a short ditty of my ride at
http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...731-n-71-today
The "n" in this case was my age, not the number of bikes. I wasn't at all sure of my ability to ride 131 miles which was the distance home from Denali Park. The unexpected headwind was also a bummer but Heed energy drink and energy bars were, I think, critical. I kept hydrated by stopping at the occasional gas station. Two friends I spoke with today said they saw me and didn't realize it was me. They thought I was "supported" since I had no gear with me. It's unusual to see folks in the Denali-Fairbanks ride without panniers. This at 60 while still a member of the "clyde" crew, so I'm not complaining.
