Wow !

Pleased to see the old girl survived the RLJer, who, incidentally was certain the road was clear.

God doesn't want her yet.
Apart from a slight scuff on her handlebar tape, her Trek Madone also remained quite unscathed.

The power of regular exercise, eh?

My mother tells me that one our Scottish relatives used to be the local postman and swears blind that he was still working at the age of 105. I said that it was great that his health didn't fail until he was that old. "His health dinnae fail him - he was rowing across the loch with a sack of mail, and he got caught oot in a storm - he drowned!"

I still can't quite believe it, but it is a great story !

I was just going to post that story, you beat me to it!

The oldest person I know is 102, but although she is rather sprightly, no way would she be able to ride a bike!!!! Impressed!

Just thought I'd let you know, jumped another 3 red lights today without any injury what so ever, my total now must be approaching four figures with a 2 at the start.

Not wishing you any harm, but one day you'll suddenly stop posting! Foresight is preferable to hindsight.

I had the privilege of meeting Ron Beams on a number of occasions. He was riding a recumbent trike at 99!

But the "Midweek Wayfarers" is an inspirational group!
