Thanks lenA, very kind. Working hard to build my speed and endurance before my body says "no thanks."
in the end we are really competing with ourselves to do what we can physically and mentally.
Recently joined Strava premium. There you can filter by age (65 and over) and weight. In my area am only one over 65 and 200+ pounds. So what now? Trying to get stronger and faster to move up regardless of age and weight; by doing hope to lose more weight, my original reason for biking. Of course now it's a lot more than that.
Knowing what others are doing in our age group gives a lot of encouragement about what we can do. Very grateful for this Forum!
