Those NJ 60 year olds may be slower than some - but they're faster than me - and probably YOU too : ).

>>Our states (Kansas) TT overall results for 2005 were won by a 50 year old - 25 miles in 55:53<<

First off, a 50 year old is MUCH younger than a 60 year old, particularly in bike racing terms. Secondly you'd sort of have to have these riders competing on the SAME course. For all I know the NJ course was a slower one (wind, hills) than the Kansaas course - or vice versa.

Any way you slice it 24-25mph on a bike for an hour is HAMMERING weenies. Try it some time. Let us all know how close you came - or how many of you could even crack TWENTY mph for an hour all alone. It's not easy. Now try doing that @ retirement age. Good luck.
