I was skipping around the Internet tonight. Consider these 40km (25 miles approx) TT times/speeds for some of my old NJ pals/training partners from the 2002 NJ TT championships:
Jean Claude Favreau (55+), 59:13, 25.1 mph
Jack Angevine (60+), 1:01:39, 24.1 mph
And the winner for the 60+ category Joe Sailing (not friend of mine but a legend in East Coast vets racing): 58:13, 25.6 mph
So the question for you junior acheivement weenies who seem to get a charge out of busting my 48 year old ass for being so old is:
Do you REALLY think you're faster than me?
Don't be so sure kid : ). At 48, I may have a few hard rides left in me yet. At least another 15 year's worth I'd say. And when I slow down I'll still be riding. Will you?
By the way Jack Angevine is, year for year and pound for pound, the toughest sonofa***** I ever raced or rode with. None of us are good enough to pump up his tires.
