I hadn't done any serious riding since 1966. I bought an Atala 10 speed in 1976, but only had a chance to ride now and then. In 2015, I was living in Abilene, Tx, and was part of a Hardin-Simmons Leadership Studies Bike Ride Across Texas BRAT). I bought a bike and did about 2500+ miles training for the ride. The ride was from the Gulf to Texline, about 900 miles. Unfortunately, my son's near fatal accident cut my participation at 400 miles. Since then, I have done about 2000 miles every year, but it might be something less than that this year.
