[QUOTE=Carbonfiberboy;23575680][QUOTE=Wildwood;23575401]Maybe I should start a thread - in 50+ forum - Is this the definition of MAMIL?
I grabbed a comfortable jersey and bibs, maybe without thinking…? That’s easy…., eh?!
Bibs are numbered in order of age, 1 being the oldest. #2 this year was 80, came in way, way before a lot of quite young riders. You might think of giving it a try next year. Only ~154 miles and ~10,000'.
Only in my nightmares would I dare attempt RAMROD.
2 hours in the saddle kinda tests the limit of my enjoyment. 4 hours (with breaks) if friends are around or a metric century.
Results Matter - for me that means waking up every day and feeling my best. A day after RAMROD would be beyond brutal. Would much rather be an OMIL who rides 3-5 times a week, ~100mi, 40 weeks/year until I die. That's my best possible result and actively working to make it matter.

Fine by me.
