54 is young, don't knock it !

It's definately all relative.

I'm much fitter than I was in my 20's but still pretty unfit relative to lots of you!

99.5kg to be precise Andy or in my money 15.4 approx - this time 2 year ago I was 24.4 it's been hard work but now a way of life & love my cycling so much now

Slowly working my way down from 135kg now at 127. The good news for me is no more smoking. Just working off the new addiction that I must get under control .

I've gone from 116 to 104kg and really notice the difference. It feels like your lungs and heart can actually work properly!

I gave up smoking at 44, started at 9, angina set in at 45. Didn't give up a day too soon and probably years too late.

But I'll be laughing if the age handicap league starts

Happy Birthday Bob

Fellas ... Are there any other organised group rides/ races , or is it just the Thursday 7pm one & the re run of that sat @ 5pm ?

Not sure how all the leagues & that work if I'm honest , am I best to select rides out of one of the CC leagues ?

Well thanks for dropping by anyway Boxers. I never knew if you were coming or going or if you said anything as the text was far too small. If I'm going to continue with bkool I'm going to need to hook it upto a 32"tv.
The ride was quite soul destroying as I felt way off the pace and for some reason I directed my frustration towards bkool and I couldn't help thinking I'd have a good look at Zwift soon.

By "just" do you mean about 20 minutes?

Handicap Tuesday 8pm
Chaingang Thurs 7pm rerun Sat 5pm

Goats and moose leagues, not sure, I think it's a bit random. Participants just do them when they are available.

I'm thinking of organizing a group ride up Mt Ventoux next week. It's a good entry level Mountain Goat ride so I'll be expecting a lot of enthusiasm from the guys here and it may well end up oversubscribed.

When I dropped out of spectating the 2nd time he'd just gone over the hour with about a mile and a half left
