I follow several local younger people in my area on Strava. They are all very gun-ho cyclists and most ride gravel or mountain bike. I have been on a couple of Strava challenges with the group, and one was climbing for November (outside only). The weather here sucks in November. But the point of this is that one of the local guys in his 40s has told me a couple of times that I inspire him. He can beat me in every way, but wants to be able to ride the way I do at my age. Since I don’t consider myself anything special, I was very flattered. As for more ways than riding a bike, I would hope, but the peeps are mum at this point.
