That's awesome. There's an OR Randonneurs member who is 66 and has been logging his cycling miles since 1966 (the year I was born!) when he was 20yrs old. He's generally one of the faster randonneurs in our club. Here's a message he posted to the ORR message board the other day:
I started logging my bike mileage in 1966. Yesterday, on my evening commute, I passed 300,000 miles at about 6:15 pm, 10-12-11 on Springwater Trail bridge over McLoughlin Blvd. First log entry Jan. 2, 1966. Age 20, club ride, Lytle Creek, 60 miles. 100,000 miles in May 1988. 22 years later, age 42. 200,000 mles in June 2002. Another 14 years, age 56. 300,000 miles in Oct. 2011. Less than 10 years, age 66. 8 years under 3000 miles. Low of 1250 in 1970. 8 years over 10,000 miles. High of 12,546 in 2004. --Del I should add that he's also run Western States and Badwater (ultramarathons). It's pretty awesome. I spent much of the second day or this year's 600k riding with him and it was great hearing some of his stories. I find this kind of stuff inspiring. I certainly hope to be doing century rides into my 60s. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
