55 in January...and I've always been a late bloomer, whether talking about college, marriage, or children (I have a 6 y/o son). In life in general, the long way around just sort of finds me

As far as biking goes I made my own "stingray" at 11 (I still remember and love the royal blue rattle can paint job). In the 70's I rode a sky blue Mercier, nothing fancy but it was a quick, twitchy ride. I'm still looking for a classic to ride (should have never sold my wife's '89 Bianchi Squadra, oh well...the long way around...).
