And after you experience your 70th birthday that 3:30 am pit stop is your 2nd or 3rd of the night.

Need warm weather is right. Last year on this day it was 75F here and we were riding in our summer kit; yesterday we didn't even make it to 35! Definitely has been a long, cold one.

My wife won't ride with me at all. Says riding isn't her thing. She also won't play golf, doesn't like my car, prefers music other than what I enjoy, won't go to movies with me, and isn't into affection. Should I be surprised after 30 years of marriage?

If you're over 70, though, please don't sign up - the only way I'll place is if there are no other contestants in the over 70 age group!!! I'm so stiff that I lose a lot of time at the change-overs - gotta figure out an old-man way to quickly put on bike and running shoes over wet feet!
Question for Burr: What's GOPD??

Geez . . . am a lucky fellow!
My wife rides tandem with me several days a week; we pretty well like the same kind of music; we don't do golf/movies. Love to travel.
We are still very affectionate . . . romance is not just for newlyweds!
What's not to like?
She tells me I'm still on 'probation' after only 58 years of being very happily married!
Brought her an nice bouquet wildflowers today and taking her out for breakfast this weekend.
At ages 80 and 78 we love spending time TWOgether.
Keep your life/love interesting!

I guess Im lucky. I turn 75 this year, and have yet to have to get up in the middle of the night to go pee. Sure makes my friends of the same age mad. I think a couple of them think I am not telling the truth.

They tell me all my life that if you are properly hydrated you should get one time a night to pee.
But, you are older then me and it works for you!

There were 10 riders today for the Tuesday club ride. At least 4 of us are old enough to post here. Good ride, 33 miles, 13+ mph average speed, coffee stop at Panera, 3 hours total, temperature in the 30s. I sure like being retired.

I know well that, after a long winter, I can't get my summer biking legs back in one weekend's outings (especially at our age). So why do I still do this every year? I had my trail bike out yesterday for a somewhat tiring ride due to the trail surface being soft in most places, then today I took the road bike to the local practice venue and tried to double the previous day's mileage with a stiff breeze to boot. Once again I'm wiped out and feeling like I've "lost it" at last!
At least tomorrow's Easter and with my son home and other family activities I'll be forced to stay inside. Otherwise I'd probably be at it again! No wonder my wife thinks I'm nuts...

Well-----------you are right there. I dont have anything against beer, but I just dont like the taste. It tastes sour and bitter to me. For me water is #1, followed by lemonade.
