I'm 78 and I ride 40 miles a day in the summer months. I am sorry about whatever issue you have that you cannot ride any longer. The leader of the cycling club I was in 30 years ago had to stop because his knees developed arthritis. We all have something that throws a turd in the bucket. I was a runner before cycling but kept getting stress fractures. I ride because I love riding. Many years ago I played in a rock band and a guy that wrote a famous song for the Four Seasons bought a restaurant in town. Our lead singer knew where he lived and asked him to give us a listen and he did. He came to our practice place and worked with us to play some of his songs. Then he took us to New york City for a week (two still still in High school) to a recording studio where we layed down tracks for his songs. I was very good on lead guitar and the head engineer told me If I moved to the city and got a job to pay for a cheap apartment he would train me to be a studio musician. I was cute and in a band and someone got pregnant. In those days 1968, you married the girl and I did, but that put an end to that chapter. I played in bands for awhile but eventually had to get a haircut and a real job. I am still married to her and I love her. I moved on and so can you.
