Hey gang, I like your website. I have been riding for over 15 years and the trails have taken their toll on my old bones as I turn 50 in August. I am a slow climber and do ok on the downhill, especially when I am riding my Bullit. I have been riding with a group of guys and gals for several years now and we have almost 40 people on our distribution list. About 10-15 actually ride on a regular basis. Besidse MTB riding I like to ski, (not snowboard!!!), water ski, wake board and may even go surfing once in a while. Most of the time I go riding!!!

Welcome! I think the above replies call for a slow-off race

Tempting, I got a secret weapon for going slow...a 20-tooth granny gear. It is not uncommon for hikers to pass me going uphill.

I am a very optimistic person and the only thing I can thing of as a possitive of me being so slow is that I still consider myself a newbie and hopefully it can only get better with more saddle time.

Pain Freak · 04-02-2007, 08:40 PM

Well, your not as old as Dean and I, and I think OMR might even beat us, so you're just another one of the kids to us.
