Most Saturdays as an old come backer, I enjoy a B ride with a local club. It's gotten more like a B+ ride with 4 of us pushing and breaking away. For a couple of months I was just a wheel sucker. Riding and pushing has really helped my fitness and recently I started to take a turn pulling. This last Saturday I was up front chugging at 21-23mph and feeling very good about myself and my 65 year old body when out of nowhere this 20 something chisled angel of women blew by us, smooth as silk. Well I started after her, legs burning, 25 mph, heart exploding 26-27 mph (I think we are gaining I thought). Just than I heard from the back "Forget it she one of the area's top triathletes"........as Client says "A man's gotta know his limitations"....O well.....
