eja_ bottecchia

I am in my 60s and, like you, I accept the fact that I now have less life to live than when I was 17.

Dying is not my worry, once you are dead you are dead and that’s pretty much the end, physically speaking at least.

My concern is about sustaining a major injury that would negatively impact the years remaining in my life.

I am more cautious descending now that when I was younger...I still like bombing it downhill though; that’s one of the truly fantastic feelings when riding.

My three Colnagos are very sure footed in fast descents. The Bottecchia is a bit twitchy. So I “choose” my descent speed depending on which bike I am riding that day.
