Boy...I'm tellin' you JuJu....talk to me in ten years. On my ride today....a woman way into her 70's kept passing me...blowing my wheels off. I finally caught up with her, introduced myself and we had lunch. She's amazing and rides a hybrid type bike....very heavy....but bikes avidly every day. At the point I caught up with her she'd completed 30 miles.
Talk about a humbling experience. I have yet to do 30 miles...but will. Doing 50 is my goal for the first 1/2 of 2007....a century the second 1/2.
Wish me luck!!!

How are you in your 60's? Wow! I hope that I look as good as you do when I'm your age. Hell, I'd be happy to look that nice at 27.
Happy birthday!!

Happy Birthday! New bike, new friend. What a great time. We got dropped by a couple of men in their 60's last year on the MS150. My little 23 year old legs couldn't keep up. I was so impressed and humbled.

You look Fabulous!! You must be getting younger with every year.
My birthday is tomorrow too. 42. But I'm hoping to do a 200 mile ride this march. Don't hold me to it though..........__o

Happy Birthday! I love your new bike and you do not look at all like you are in your 60s! I want to look as good as you do.
Good luck on your 1/2 century!
