Anyway, 10 Wheels I've got to get over to Houston some time this year to ride with you old farts
My best friend is 75 and he kicks my butt and most people of any age on a bike, distance and/or speed. That guy is awesome, he was in the nationals a couple of times.Thinking about heading over for a brevet sometime in Houston area or the Katy Flatlands ride. Hope to meet up with you guys. Have a niece who lives in Sugarland or somewhere around there.
Or you can come to the valley and enjoy our heat, winds and humidity....but your're used to it already.

Pretty common in parts of south central, central and southeast Texas. Where I live in deep south TX "pan dulce" is more the norm but you probably know what that is. All good rewards for riding the bike

Lots of nice C+V steel in this thread!
I currently have 6 bikes, but that changes from time to time. I'd like to have a modern, carbon fiber, brifter equipped wonder, but don't have a grand or 2 to spend on a bike right now. So I buy bikes from the last century on Craiglist for cheap and restore them to their former glory!
Current project is a 1983 SR , nice light bike, about 21 pounds. It's a little too big for me so it looks like this:
But I'm an old guy, so I can get away with a setup like this^^.

Looks like yummy ride food! Yes, pan dulce is common here and there is a bakery which has an entire wall devoted to it.

Hmmm
That's not unlike the egg and cheese burritos that I used to take on longer rides. The bike shop guys I rode with would kid me about cholesterol but it's just an idea I brought from paving crews I'd worked on.

This is what this "old" person rides, and has ridden for 40 years... Pic is from last year, when it was only 39. Or maybe the year before.
