Or turn the activity into a hobby, not a bad one to age with.
Reminds me - I need a group shot outside before Winter sets in. And a thorough cleaning of my garage space to coincide.
Clear your handlebars and your mind will follow!
between this thread about average mph and another about cadence I appreciate the sentiment you posted. I will be 71 in a few weeks and I can get caught up in some of this but recently adopted the attitude of just being grateful to do 25-30 miles 2-3 times a week on some pretty nice dedicated bike paths. I average around 13-14 mph and I consider it slow but just being out in my bike for a couple of hours is a blessing.
be well
