Why does the ride have to actually be on your birthday? Mine is in the beginning of May, which means that the snow is just barely gone but that I haven't had time to get in shape.
But the idea is that a ride of a given length becomes harder (and hence more admirable) as one gets older, correct?
So if one does, say, a 63-mile ride at the age of 63 years and 5 months, isn't that more admirable than doing so at the age of exactly 63 years?
This is important, because I keep wanting people to admire me for something and not succeeding.
