I really enjoyed that, thank you. I'm going to share it in our shop's daily-ish newsletter today, too! I appreciated the 'rides in all weather --except ice!' caption. I'm similar.

I’ll not set off in sub-zero temperatures and gales any more. Black ice have had their laugh at me but no more.

I have the privilege of riding with quite a few of these immortals every week, they continue to inspire me every time I ride with them.

Jerry Dusterhoff (81) - author of cycling vacation books "Gotta Go!" and "Bicycle Journeys with Jerry", ahead of his class for multiple disciplines in his age group, in fact, he was at our group ride yesterday, doing 50 miles like he's just eating his cereal for breakfast.

Stanton Truxillo (82) is still leading a group ride out of Mozart in Austin every Saturday.
