She is amazing. Inspiring. Imagine having a grandmother like that: a hard act to follow.

Incredible! And on a single speed bike, no less!
Once on a weeklong bike ride I was going up a hill, could hear someone coming up at a pretty fast clip, I looked over and it was an "old-ish" guy on a very heavy looking Schwinn. I stopped at the next rest stop, he was there, we chatted, turns out he was 84 years old, doing the week long ride for like the 5th or 6th year! That's how I want to be if I am fortunate enough to live that long and have good health!
For now, I felt pretty cool
this summer when my daughter showed up unexpectedly with my grandson and granddaughter just as I was returning from a bike ride. I got off my bike (pink jersey) and my 5 year old granddaughter looks at me and says, "You look awsome"! That made my day. Now if I can keep doing it (knock wood) until I'm in my 80's!

Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. I'm putting this link on my Facebook.
Wouldn't it be great if stories like this were on the news instead of all the bad stuff?

Loving it. Such a great spirit. And I love that she can do it on a beach cruiser in heels. Coolest cyclist chick ever!
