Good work, Jim!

At 51, I haven't done any long rides since my 20's (how do those guys find the time??It's like golfing, which I don't do, mainly because I could never find 4 or 5 hours free on a weekend!! Maybe it's because we started late with the kids and still have teens down to a 10 year old at home). But this summer I did some 50s and it felt GREAT!

Just picked up a ridiculous deal on a mid-90s perfect Cannondale 600 for my 15 year old, and I've been showing him something about PACE lately. He's super-competitive and at every hill he takes off, and at every summit, I still catch him! That will not last long.

Is there a better feeling than doing something, under your own power, for an hour or two, then looking back over the landscape, or at a map, and knowing you can still do that!!
