As I get older my body gets better at reminding me to warm up before I do anything remotely athletic ... and stretch afterward. Those of us over 30 or so (I'm over 55) were likely taught to 'cold stretch' before athletics, which has since been pretty well shot down in recent years by those advo

Thanks for this; very interesting. Interesting too that the trail figure is exactly that of my Matthews with 700C X 61 mm (actual) tires (71.5, 55, 700C X 61).
