Come back and complain when you're really and truly slow.

Yeah, I'm generally not bothered when people pass me. That's just life. There will always be someone faster.

Not just for cycling.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

The year that I rode 2500 miles about 3 years ago, my top biking year, I went from a 9mph average to a 9.5mph average. Woo-HOOOOO!! LOL!
But hey, I could ride 50 miles then, or even 70...and I knew much faster riders who would totally poop out after 30 miles or so. It's all relative. Plus I'm 56 now- I deserve to enjoy myself and thumb my nose at what others might think.
Last year and this year I'm not riding nearly as much, but I do all kinds of stuff- walking, snowshoeing, dancing, gardening... it's all active and all good.
And I still love riding my bike.

I am still shooting for 2500 miles this year - have it up to about 1800, it depends what happens with my hamstring. They are not very fast miles, but they do pass and I enjoy them greatly!
