Well you have joined a noble group of women! I am 64 and planning to ride about 5000 mi this year! Started riding clipless September 2003 and barely have time to do anything else besides work full time!

I have been ordained by the younger group as the Bike Goddess....such an honor!

If you want any coaching let me know. I've done 5 centuries and countless metric centuries in the past year. This year I am doing the SF/LA AIDSLifeCycle ride in June- about 600 mi in 7 days.

I am well trained by the "guys" in my bike club. One fellow who is an excellent rider and mechanic is 68 and still going strong. He is an inspiration to me at 64!

Glad to hear I have some company!
