Greetings. Haven't posted in a while however all good. jppe doing 3 100 milers in a row is unfathomable!!!! Doing 50 takes stuff out.

Update: Our group of COVID road bike warriors have continued to today. We now have 8-10 in our group; most are 74-77 years old with some youngsters in mid-60s. All double vaccinated. When one travels we ride in the back for a week until tested. So far no one got COVID from riding; one did from a trip to LA. We ride four days a week Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday

Our "normal" ride is about 40 miles going from 15 to 19 MPH. On a good day (lower winds) we might maintain 17-18 for 8-10 miles. Call it COVID fitness.

Just passed 6,000 miles for 2021 after 7,500 in 2020 -- the most in my dozen years of riding.

Don't know what the future holds, however cycling has been a savior for most of us who would have been stuck at home avoiding the virus.

Best wishes to all.
