I'm reminded of this every time I ride with the club. Nearly all of the people I ride with are over 60 and they kicked my rear the first few times I rode with them.

That said...Ride on, my friends! I remember calling a friend after I came back early from the ride and telling her a group of senior citizens just kicked my a$$. We had a good laugh but it really made me realize that if I keep at it I could be the senior kicking a thirtysomething's hiney.
I'm so lucky to have found the club I ride with. They are very willing to help me and a great source of information. One of the members holds the record as the oldest man to climb Mt Rainier at 84 and he puts over 100 miles a week on his bike. I hope I can say the same in 50 years!

Best Guess - Sacramento Bee. The article mentioned the American River, which flows past Sacramento. Did some fish seining on that river... Originally Posted by mimitabby
