Good thread T2W. The rest of you guys too, very inspirational! I'm creeping up on 60 but still have a few years to get there and have picked up cycling this year myself. Now my situation is a bit different in that I really don't 'like' riding...i'm a true lazy ass....sigh but it's good for me and with my bad knees (whole other story but I've got to the point of visiting surgeons) it's an activity that I can do. I keep doing it though, maybe I'll grow to like it even. I sure appreciate even the modest gains I've made so far and the benefits it's paying. As time goes on and I look at stories like yours, geez, 100k/wk, 3000k a year and more is motivating for me so thanks for sharing your stories.
Keep it up boys!
