I am also a golfer and interestingly the time that I now spend on my bike is time that I used to spend playing golf (where I am now pretty much a once per week guy). And yes I am at least a club shorter (more like 15 yards with the driver) than 4 or 5 years ago.

Since I retired I’m riding less but playing more golf. I always thought my bike mileage would zoom skyward when I retired. Just a matter of choices.

Tommie actually worked at Rainbow for a few years. I think he was doing mostly sales stuff versus wrenching.
