Will be 73 this Wednesday. Riding better than ever. Not necessarily faster but better. And, yes, faster than last year.

I don't feel old, it's just that my body lies a LOT.

You are 54. It’s a Fifty Plus sub forum.
I’m guessing you weren’t an Actuarial Science major in college?

Was the Bronze Age the time of the Coppertone tan and before those Boss Goldens?

Lordy, how did you get to be 54 only once; were you in a coma? I was 54-years-old 365 times… it was for an entire year.
