Hi I am a old guy 67 . I rode cheapo english racing bikes in the 50's and in the early 60's I got a used high end racing bike and rode hard for several years. In the mid 60's I was in the Army Special Forces and rode in several large inter service meets and won a few. I rode very little from the 1975 till 2006 and have started again and ride every day. I hike a lot and it is fun to pass up all those young people.
