I was on a club ride and we were spread out along Mulholland Drive. Some new guy went roaring past me and promptly crashed in the middle of the lane. It was flat and smooth and dry but down he went. Another rider who had met him came by and offered to stay with him until he could get picked up.

I did 12K miles that year, my highest total.
On Saturday one of the ladies in club #2 told me she does 12K per year. She is in her 50s and had a hip replaced early last year. She has great endurance.

Almost twice as expensive. For that budget, I'd likely go with this Drifter – No. 22 Bicycle Company (22bicycles.com)

That’s a LOT of saddle time. As you noted, understandable. If I could ride as much as I wanted, I don’t think I would see numbers like that.

Statins are essentially the default at this point and there’s always a reason.
I refer to mine, snarkily, to my painfully sincere and conscientious PCP, as the “immortality pill.” I was on atorvastatin for a while and had lots of post-exercise discomfort. The water soluble ones, such as pravastatin, don’t enter muscle cells as readily and have milder side effects.

edit, if I irritate them by sitting wrong, with my legs under me, or in a folding chair.

I get lots of hamstring cramps when I push it. I don’t think statins do that. Worst part is when I jackknife to straighten my knee, it often causes my chronically overworked abs to spasm. …Or maybe it’s the same spinal cord process doing both.

I added an edit to the above. My hammys only do it post ride if I sit wrong, legs under me,, or in folding chairs. I don't know why but they don't like folding chairs. If I sit in the car or stay on my feet it's no problem.

Any rapid knee flexion will do it to me. There’s a move on the boat that causes it routinely if I’m not really careful.

I forgot, while I was on this last trip, a box from trek showed up at the house. The guy I worked with to order the madone sent us a little Christmas gift. New bottle and a coffee mug. That was pretty awesome.
