Birthday ride
Today in honor of my birthday, I rode my age! 66.24 miles on a mountain bike from the city of Hemet, CA to Diamond Valley Lake and around it twice and then back. It was great but for next year I think I will just ride my age on paved roads and my road bike.
Poor times but considering my age.....

66 miles is a good ride ... on pavement. I can't imagine riding that far on my mountain bike (except perhaps on pavement, but even then I wouldn't be happy about it).
Congratulations!
Congratulations!

Well done, and happy birthday. I don't even think about how long it takes. If I get the birthday miles in on the day of, it's all good.
