I know a few of you practice this tradition of riding your age in miles on your birthday, but here's the record to aim for--92 years old--and 92 miles!

I love this story. I hope and plan to ride as long as I can. It would be a blessing indeed to be still doing it at 92.

Great story! Favorite quote: “I got serious five or six years ago.” :)

Man what a great story...darn impressive. I just turned 71 and while I "think" I can still ride my age....I just don't want to. When younger I used to love to set challenges like that for myself, but not so much anymore. My granddaughter isn't impressed and my wife doesn't like it when I try to impress other girls. :)

From the wording, it appears he may have even finished in slightly less than 7 hours. Guys 1/3 his age would be lucky to get that sort of time. 20 miles a day normally. Good golly.
