Yep, ole paint...don't let the youngsters have all the fun.
There are old pilots and bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots.
Any old mountain bikers out there?

Just enrolled as an active member of the Medicare Peleton last month and am still an avid trail riding cyclist (mostly mtb'r ~11-12 months out of the year, less frequent during ski season). Ride a rigid, 1X12, Fatback Corvus year round (26X 4.6" winter, non-studded rubber 27.5X 2.8" non-winter rubber even on moderately technical turf in Moab) and morphing the ole Merlin ti frame roadbike to 1X11climber...yeah, I know-total heresy.
(rode full GDMBR tour two summers ago...starting in stunningly beautiful Canmore and the ONLY addition to that is a dropper post (first time) after successfully riding Fleecer Ridge in MT, with the baggy shorts briefly caught on the saddle horn...the only other brainless idiot on our tour that also rode down Fleecer Ridge was a 69 y.o., Santa Cruz sponsored mtb racer from down under. It didn't look that bad on the top but knowing how steep it gets at the end, likely wouldn't try it again...don't let the youngsters have all the fun).
