LOL I think they originally had 118 hp or something like that. Totally fun to drive but totally different than pushing one's limits on a bicycle.

I did a very little bit of racing in college. Don't think I have it in me these days. But if I did, it would likely be a more endurance oriented event. A crit would be the last option.

I think that I now qualify for the Senior Olympics. It might be fun to try a time trial or something, especially since participation rates seem kind of low = greater chance of medaling lol.

My heroes these days are those octogenarian and nonagenarian athletes who make the news simply because they are still moving and 30 and 40-something reporters can't fathom it lol. That's my goal.
