I'm so slow that after riding for 15 minutes into a 10 mph headwind, I'm a mile short of where I started.

I'm so slow that mother's pushing strollers have to yell "on your left" when they pass me.

I'm so slow that I had to call off yesterday's early morning 10-mile ride on account of darkness.

I'm so slow, my bike computer uses a calendar rather than mph to measure my speed.

I'm so slow when trail riding that I get pushed out of the way by the bird-watchers.

What's this "slow" of which you speak?
Sorry, that word's not in my vocabulary.
When I turned 50, somebody at my birthday party cracked that I was now "over the hill". One of my riding buddies chimed in with, "Yeah, he's over the hill before any of the rest of us"...that was about the nicest present I got that day!
