Outstanding!
Congratulations to her for her commitment to cycling and a healthy lifestyle.
I'm sure you must be proud.

I love posts like this. Congrats to you and Nora. Nora's showing older riders like us that it's very possible to keep riding well into our 80s. She's an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many other riders.

Not only human power, but human power at altitude, in thin air.
