Great observation. I think what she did not say is the most interesting. Considering the 4 decade generation gap, she could have gone with the tried and true and complimented me on being spry.

A lot of college students ride fixies and she may ultimately get one but I suspect the geared route will be the way she goes. This young women has definite plans.

I told my wife immediately and she agreed. Rick@ocrr has it right. However the operational word is "almost".

People ask me if I am entering the Tour of California every year. I tell them I will if they start a 50+ fat guy team.

I'm sure that was a well earned compliment, Hermes; I was half expecting you to say her "hills" consisted of riding out of underpasses and overpasses, lol.
Nah...I get this type of stuff all the time.
I go to the gym every night. So I know most of the staff pretty well and they know what my goals are.
