Sorry to hear about your riding mates accident, Just tell him to get down the Gym to retain some of his fitness. You are Right, we oldun's can be fit but we have to work at it. That's where I've been tonight, and I feel shattered right now. Used a lot of energy, sweated a lot, and pulled one level higher than I was 2 weeks ago on the machines. Whilst there I talked to a 25 year old fellow biker, and he races in the summer. He actually asked me to set out a programme for his training, as he matched me on the machines, was the same level as me, but less time. Mind you, when we went to the weight room, he was pulling weights I could not even think of.
That training for us old uns gets harder, but I would hate to be a youngster that is less fit than me. At least I have age as a reason. All he has is too much beer, too many parties, and too much junk food.
What makes it worse is that he doesn't invite me to the parties, and he never buys a round in the pub.
