Looking forward to more inspiration and such.

Hi Doug,

My name is Jim, and I’m a cyclist (…Hi Jim...) Four decades of cycle touring, road cycling and year round cycle commuting
.

Welcome and keep up with it. Your post was particularly serendipitous, since just last weekend we held a Seventh Annual Fifty-Plus Forum Ride out of the Raystown Lake Resort; Altoona was the nearest town I recognized. I haven’t written my ride description yet to that thread, but will soon.

Compared to the hills of Metro Boston, I consider that I rode over two mountains, shorter perhaps, but with grades as challenging as I had encountered in Colorado (but that was 35 years ago).
