Age 62 was speed walking Walt Disney World 1/2 Marathon Relay tripped and faceplanted - nothing broken other than glasses and pride. My distance of relay was 8 miles speed walking at 9:36/mile pace
April 2020 age almost 70 @ 1:25AM hit by a Wild Hog with crash resulting in 2 cracked ribs, punctured lung, cracked scapula + minor crap
July 2022 age 72 + 16 days @ 3:04AM was T-boned by another Wild Hog = fractured left tibia + other minor crap
2 weeks ago this Saturday morning a few days before 74th birthday @ 3:30AM front tire hit storm debris while making a slow U-turn went down REALLY HARD and still smarting.

Life continues and already rode 13.32 miles today ride began at 2:35AM.



Ages 61 to 65 could get HR to 175BPM when Chi-speed walking @ pace of 10:00 minute/mile
Quite the story. But maybe there's a connection between riding in the middle of the night and accident frequency? And are we talking literally "Wild Hog"?
No judgement - you do you. But I'm curious.
