I'm guessing it was tire sealant, but I couldn't find a puncture.

This is good to know. Figured I would ask here, it didn’t seem right to me, but I wasn’t going to argue with him. He must not be a fan of marathoners either.

As a 64 year-old physician who fits the profile, I worry a hell of a lot more about being mooshed by a negligent driver.
BTW, you will need to protect that ulnar nerve or find a position on the bike which doesn’t traumatize it. You are likely hitting it on the pinky side of the base of your palm. Nerves recover, but don’t like repeated damage.

As a 66 year old lifetime slacker I also worry about motorists but I also worry about having to quit doing hard rides due to some heart problem.
I had some a-fib issue while I was still working but it resolved itself in between doctor visits and fighting with insurance.
Before corona I was up to 13 or more hours per week on the bike with a good part of that at high intensity.

I think we are more likely to develop heart problems from not training than over training. No one here rides that much, not even LAJ.
Don't ever forget, we are all to fat for this stupid sport.

To summarize:
Exercise is bad for your heart and so is not exercising.
conclusion:
We're f**ked
