Boom! Job done.

[PK99]

For my 60th year I set myself some targets - initially between birthdays, but a broken rib and then series of chest infections last Autumn rather scuppered that so I switched to Calendar year 2015

so:
6000 miles
6 Imperial Centuries
60 60 mile rides

All now done!

121 rides in the year, average distance 50 miles

The 6 tours became 5 but what the hell.

For the geeky: that is an Eddington 60 in my 60th year, and my overall Eddington number is now 68.

To lifetime cyclists those numbers may look pretty tame, But I bought my first ever bike (an mtb) about 15 years ago and my first road bike in spring 2008.

Good on you, I hope at 60 I am still full of the enthusiasm you have.

 

[screenman]

Well done, but 60 is so young.

@pk69 well done and keep it up

 

[Dave 123]

Good work. What will you dream up for 70?

And I like the way a person in their 60's starts a thread title with BOOM!

 

[Chris1983]

Wow, Awesome effort

i'm just 32 and thought my 3000 miles this year was a respectable distance

happy cycling for next year

 

[Dogtrousers]

Wow. Well done.

I reckon 60 is the break point for this challenge. 40, easy. 50 challenge. 60 hard. 70 just too hard to contemplate (for me at any rate)

Brilliant. OK, I've a decade to get ready then....hmmm, going to be tough matching that!

Yay! Well in.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Respect!
And here's me wondering if I'll still manage my 5 mile commute when I'm 60!
You are an inspiration of us 50+
