In 1980 I was riding on a fancy Lippy touring bike from Ogden Utah to Boulder Co. Somewhere in between I met some other cyclists at a park and there was this old guy, ten yrs younger than I am now, riding a Gitane 10 spd loaded to the gills. Steel rims, etc. He had been on the road for a long time. His legs looked like tree trunks. I was light and fast but it was a good feeling being on the same road with old farts doing it.
