Cycling body vs. "real world" body
Every once in awhile I muse about this. I'm 68 and hang out on Tuesday happy hours with a bunch of men and women at a local watering hole. I am invariably about 10 yrs older than everyone else. I am almost always the only cyclist in the tavern. I am down to 5'9" and weigh 180 lbs and in pretty good shape. At the bar most everyone else is 10-20 lbs overweight. Some of the 25-35 yr old's aren't but most are. People think I'm some kind of "specimen" because I look more fit and younger than what they expect. And, them I might add. On Saturday morning I go out with my club for our weekly ride and I look around and, once again, I'm the overweight old guy. At this point I just laugh at myself and remind myself that we just "ain't normal." Anyone else having those kinds of experiences?
