Turning 61 next week and still racing bicycles; Endurance Gravel races, high energy cyclocross, and cross country mountain bike.
Between race seasons, I’m riding at least 100 miles a week with 10,000 ft of hill climbing. And hitting the gym when rain is falling.
Love the whole race experience. It’s what keeps me young. Lining up with competitors on a Saturday morning, adrenaline flowing, sizing up the competitors, and then the man says “Go”! That’s when you get to see who has the horsepower, technical ability and endurance that day!
Next significant event is a gravel road race in Bend, Oregon. That race has kicked my butt for the last four years. Training up for that now and going to conquer that beast this June!
Pic is mid-race last year …. I’m in blue jersey … chasing down competitor.
