Does Anyone Still Do Birthday Rides?

But Just turned 70 so might give it a try. My friends are saying I could do it with no problem and if I take it easy and possibly throw in a BBQ lunch as a rest stop who knows…..

How about you?
Been doubling for many years but last year's crash just 6 days before birthday began the spiral downward. Between the torn rotator cuff from the crash to Prostate Cancer issues I just haven't gotten back.
