On a side note, I see the same old man riding his bike up the fire road everyday. On the steep sections he walks it, but if he was on Strava he'd probably be the true local legend! I'm more amazed by the cyclists who just ride without the bike culture nonsense.
I have run into an 82 y/o man a few times while he is doing repeats on Turnbull Canyon Rd.
All under his own power. Very cool.
