First ride as a septuagenarian

Postby dickl » Fri Feb 18, 2022 9:52 am

I decided to take advantage of the lull between the two storms and went for my first ride after making it to "three score years and ten"! I avoided the gales and storms but managed a few showers - then I had to wash the bike for the first time as a septuagenarian (me not the bike!)

Looking good!!

Maybe so long as you keep riding in the better weather you might make it to four scores! But, seeing as you're quoting the Bible, maybe you'll rival Adam and make 46 scores and 10! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Well there's a challenge, but for sure you have to do something to stay young! And I too think a sports bike should be part of the cure.
