I figure that once you get past 62years old (requiring a birthday ride of a Metric Century), you
could switch to riding kilometers for your birthday ride without too much 'hassle' from the rest of the BF senior citizens. 73 kilometers would be around 45.4 miles.
I will have to get out for my birthday ride this next week (waaay below normal temps here in Ohio this coming week - 15-20 degrees below normal!) and
try to ride 59 miles.
