They put out big power in their 60s and 70s. I ride with a guy that age who can do that power without any doubt. I know 60 year olds that can dump most Cat 2s and a few Cat 1s.
You know 76-year-old guys that ride 50 miles then attack a Cat 4 5.08 climb averaging over 200 watts and hitting a peak of over 400 watts at the steep end, (11 percent grade), while averaging 178 BPM HR and then turn around and descend at a rate faster than anyone 15 years younger? (Max HR 204.)
By the way where he is allegedly doing this is in ONE of the densest areas with competitive recreational and practicing pro-bicycling riders. And and not one guy in their sixties and seventies categories, not one person is close to him. Not a single one.
Can I believe you?
