I started bike riding at 57. At 61 I am much lighter and much more fit than I was was 4 years ago. I can (one time only) dead lift and press lift twice my body weight, and constantly ride in the highest gear and largest ring and still maintain a pretty good speed and routinely ride 40-50 miles a ride.

Several things combined to make me take charge of my life and determine to live each day to the fullest.

These days, my standard take is any day I can eat breath and pee without help, and don't have to lift the coffin lid in the morning is a good day.
