A young guy in our x-country group was also a runner. He lived in Leadville, CO. Some of us were worried about altitude. He chuckled and noted that the highest pass we were going to cross was 3’500 lower than his home town.

I used to run when I was a ute. I enjoyed it then. I tried it later, as an adult and it was considerably less enjoyable. I also enjoyed cycling as a ute, but when I tried it as an adult, it was considerably MORE enjoyable.

My wife and I have ridden with our club <40 years and were informed this week that we have been disinvited to some club rides for being too strong/fast. WTF? We are both over 70.
We have been ride leaders many years and we have never told anybody that they weren’t welcome to a club ride.
Also, I just payed our dues a couple weeks ago. Guess that we wasted our money.

Same problem I always had though, too strong.

I've been playing running games my whole life, baseball, basketball, track. There's almost nothing I truly enjoyed more. Thankfully I can still do it enough to play softball for a few more years.

I did some running the last two months at our rec center since the trails were covered with so much snow and ice, but I’ve been running less often since I discovered the step climber. It’s less brutal to train at a high output on the climber than running.

Didn’t even notice that, but you can see that large cog from the ISS. SRAM e-tap and Ardennes wheels. All locked up outside.

She was a language arts teacher at one time besides being a special education teacher, reading teacher, and administrator.
As for PenMan, I was wondering about him yesterday. Personally, I think PenMan would humble her.

I discovered another club with a less racy mentality. There are still some very fast riders but they aren't trying to blow up every ride. I still ride with them sometimes but some of my friends from the old club got tired of hammering after guys 25 years younger and we now have a good group who ride together.
By coincidence today we encountered one of the guys from when I joined the club in 1989. He was out on a solo ride and he said one of the other guys he rides with is preparing to do his birthday ride-your-age-in-miles thing next month when he will be 87. It was great to hear about some of the people I rode with 30 years ago and how some of them are still riding into their 80s.
