Greetings from the headwaters of the mighty Columbia River in Canada! I'm 63 and still love cycling. I've never taken part in a cycling race, but I do compete with myself. Currently riding a Trek Domane or an older Giant hybrid for winter. Also a tandem to share with my lovely wife. And a Gary Fisher MTB with slightly broken frame on my wahoo kickr. I had a non-cycling mishap in 2019 that mangled my legs, broke my spine, arm, sternum, and assorted other injuries. I am on the long road back to recovery and cycling has been a good part of my rehab. Stationary bike in year 1. Then an ebike in year 2 and 3 (after the casts were off). Transitioned to a hybrid bike years 4 and 5. In year 5 I beat a PR that had stood for 30 years, using the same bike that the former PR was set on. My reward was the new Domane, which is enjoyed every ride I never considered myself an athlete, just a guy who likes to bike. Recently it occurred to me that athletes know how to train (duh) and their knowledge could also benefit me. So since last year I am training more deliberately, like an athlete. I even have bibs now, lol. My fitness is now better than pre-accident 2019 levels and I want to see how far I can take it.
