As a young adult, I was a thrill seeking athlete who was the Captain of the Alpine Ski team at my New England Prep School. During my twenties, I raced vintage cars at club events.
How things have changed. I still enjoy skiing and like difficult & off-piste terrain. But I seek out great scenery now and avoid any sure-to-die exposure.
My cycling is relaxed and bit anti-competitive also. I like Century rides and often don't enjoy group rides if it becomes a race.

When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.
