Another 65 mile bicycle ride yesterday. Not bad for a 62 year old with a 30 year old riding buddy. I'll take it. Been kinda remiss on getting to the gym lately though. Cycling somehow seems more important & more fun right now.
Keep on truckin' all! We're just competing against ourselves, until hunting season hits. Then it's The Ridge I'm working against.
Have to admit, I surely do feel good when I'm in decent condition.

65 miles is a respectable ride at any age! Any issues in your knees when you bag big miles? Any IT band issues towards the end of rides?
Knees are okay. Better 30 years ago, but okay. Dunno what an "IT band" is, so I guess it's okay too.
I stayed with flat pedals on my mountain bike, but ya, clips would help smooth out the climbing. I spin out too sometimes, climbing with the mountain bike. Haven't ridden it yet this year. Going out on the road bike in a couple of hours, but not 65 miles. Maybe 40 - 50 miles. Something like that, and fewer hills.
