New Old Guy here - I enjoy long rides including Ultra Distance, because I'm to old to be fast - road or gravel works for me.

Welcome. I admire people that ride ultra distances even more than speed. Can you tell I don’t do distances well from that?

Welcome from another old guy. The ultra distance I'm working on is related to age.
