I can see 8K steady, each year, but on just one bike - don;t know many (or any) who do that kind of mileage on ONE bike, for al that time - or even have just one bike...
Some in SoCal would know him, "DJ," who is now 81, has raced most of his life, very successfully, and still very fast and rides over 20,000 miles a year. I don't know what year and model his Ridley is. I've seen it several times, but I don't know Ridley's lineup. He also rides a Trek Madone. I don't know what other bikes he has. He was in a bad accident in July 2024, coming down GMR, and broke a lot of bones. They found him unconscious on the road and knew he was a cyclist from the way he was dressed, so they started looking around for the bike, and found it 30 feet down the embankment. I saw him again only two months later, riding bike. The doctors were absolutely stunned to see how fast he healed, especially at his age; but I say, "Yep, that what happens when you're in great shape. You heal up much faster." When he and his wife go shopping, he has to push her in a wheelchair.
