Donuts In my spell checker is not wrong but Doughnuts isn't either. But If it has to be a doughnut- it has to be before and not after Pie.

I am unfortunate enough to have my birthday in January so rarely ride my age on that day-- I wait until there is a 100km ride and just add on a few miles at the end and that is normally from May to October when the wind dies down- No rain and the sun is shining. Does help if there is a tailwind and not too many hills and I did a 100 miler the week before.

I was thrilled when I heard we, the USA, were going metric, and then very disappointed when we didn't.

Somehow I knew this would morph into a metric debate. Let's get back to the question at hand:

I might have a shot at shooting my age if I live to 150.

It's a Yogi-ism. The Yogi of Berra, that is.

It's like "it gets late early out there" and "no one goes to that joint any more, it's too crowded".

I doubt I can shoot a 53. Unless you count the front 9 only.

Take enough water, food and money, even a sleeping bag.....then start early and ride all night if you have to. You could even ask a friend or family member to drive SAG.......for medical supplies, oxygen, spare parts, extra food and clothes.

But whatever you do, give it your best shot, don't wimp out.

One of the fun rides in the area takes 5 minutes off your ride time for each donut you eat at the rest stops. Maybe we could deduct 5 miles off the birthday ride for each donut we eat

I ate six donuts on the ride a couple years ago....that would deduct 30 from my age

I believe I'd never get one mile in on that ride!

I ride my age. It just takes two days to do it. Where does it say you have to do it in one go?

I want to keep miles though some how klicks make me thing something is going wrong.

maybe the number of units can rise annually, but the size of that unit is shrinking..

Luis, check my location. Hi, neighbour.

Just stick 'em over the ends of your handlebars. That's what the hole is there for. Plus, it's safer than trying to dig them out of a bag while riding. Should be able to get, what? four or five on each side unless you've got bar-end shifters...

YEap, so when you get lost and try to wiggle your way out it turns into a Century you had planned...

A 400k is 5 times my age. I fail to see the issue.

Sorry, typo fixed.

I believe in increasing the ride your age targets. It gives us targets for improvement. I don't think I need to start decreasing my ride my age miles in the foreseeable future. A one mile per year increase in length is a reasonable goal. Let's strive for improvement rather than deterioration!

You could follow this guy's advice:

Whenever riding and I come to a fork in the road, I take it.

I ride a carbon fiber bike and it's a lot like me: The result of years of experience, capable of maximizing efficiency and minimizing effort .... and very unlikely to escape even a minor accident unscathed.

If I'm going to eat 62 pieces of pie on 09/22/12, I'd better start training now!

I'm going to keep riding Centuries on my single until my bod gives out. Only will do 1-2 a year since most of our rides are tandem, but we ride both 100K and Centuries, climbing permitting.

I was looking for something to do when I turned fifty and came up with riding 5 centuries in 5 days. Not sure how that related to the number 50 but I have done it for 3 years now and this year it will be the Central Oregon 500+.
