Even when I know they are going to drop me it's so cool to hang with folks beyond my ability The folks in our group (it's a small town) know everyone's capabilities and are very encouraging and I hold on a lot longer than I used to. It used to hurt my feelings when they said they were still in warm up when they busted my fat butt. I'm old enough to be most of the groups daddy and even though I've lost weight I'm still carrying a lot more that any of them but on a good day I can hang til we hit the first hill
