I'm not a baby, I'm not overweight, 67 yrs. old and did have a heart attack two and a half years ago. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but I just can't/don't want to ride when I'm dripping wet by the time I load the car.
Thoughts?
I forgot to mention that when I lived in Decatur (ATL) I'd leave the house no later than 9AM during the summer months and ride out to Stone Mtn and do laps around the mtn and ride home. And I didn't die.
