As a “newbie”, and at soon to be 52, I’m going to chime in!

I have been shocked and utterly amazed at the standards of fitness so many of you have as people in you 60s and 70s and even more. Most people consider a half hour-45 minutes of exercise a day to be excellent. And 1.5 or 2 hours to be something only elite level and competitive athletes can do.

Many of you have set a standard so high for yourselves and I hope you realize it. I can imagine it’s disheartening to not be able to hit 2-3 hour rides everyday and having to dial it back a little. But my hats off to you guys for even being able to have this conversation!
