OK, I've gotta brag. :dance: :thumbup:

Yesterday on my ride home I passed a guy half my age (I'm 56) at the beginning of a long (about 1-1/2 miles), slightly uphill climb. He appeared to be the "correct" weight for his height.
He was on a Trek carbon fiber and I was on my Raleigh R600 aluminum with panniers. I offered a friendly greeting as I passed him.
When I reached the stop light at the end of the climb I noticed he was way back. He finally caught up with me about 1-1/2 minutes later. Then the light changed and we parted.

Don't get me wrong. I wasn't showing off. I was riding at my usual speed.

Weight does not corelate with fitness, strength, and stamina!
