The problem with riding is when I want to ride with friends who are faster, younger, lighter, and train and watch their diet, getting by becomes more of a challenge.

When I was younger as long as I could get 10+ hours per week, I could do any ride my club was doing. I may have suffered sometimes but I ALWAYS finished.
Now I can't make the claim of being ready for anything and that is what I would like to be able to do.
