That’s why I ride, it’s the only way I get to be athletic anymore.

Recently I hiked over rough terrain with two twenty-somethings, I was left in the dust. When I ride with a bunch of the same age I can run with most of ‘em.

I’m fixing to head out this morning and put 40 miles in, back before noon, never woulda thought that possible before I got into it age 56.
