Congratulations!
 

Congratulations! You have been selected to participate in the 2006 Tour of the California Alps – Death Ride on July 8, 2006.

Yea I'm happy. This will be my 12th year in a row to attend. I've completed all 5 passes the past 9 years. The past 7 times on a recumbent. The last three years 5 passes on my Aero. My average speed has gone up on the last three rides, in spite of me being over 50. I credit this from the increased training I can do now because of the recumbent and the lack of butt trama.

Congrats indeed! As a member of the "over 40" crowd, I enjoy reading about cyclists who are older than I am and still improving.
