I'll be out today for probably 20 miles but I have a dinner to go to at my parents' at six, so no long rides today. Maybe a long ride tomorrow, weather depending. Def. one Thursday, and hopefully Friday, a mountain ride Saturday, and maybe another long ride Sunday.
Andy, I'm glad I could help.
I'll think of you too, when I'm trying to increase my average speeds... "If that broken down old man can ride 17 mph, so can I..."
Although, despite your age, you have an unfair advantage being Polish. Tough old birds just get stronger with age. My 90 year old 100% Polish grandfather still walks 5-6 miles at the track a day, and my 101 year old Polish great aunt still mows her lawn with a pushmower and makes dinner for her 79 year old son.
