Funny. A couple along the trail today told me of a friend who decided to ride his age of 80 recently, then partway through thought the better of it and switched to kilometers. Its out there as my ace in the whole, but with luck it feels like I’ve got a few more years of this standard left.
10 months agoCongratulations🏆 And it’s great that you finished strong!!
I got caught in a major thunderstorm and ended up 4 miles short on my Birthday Ride this years.
Congratulations Scott! Quite an achievement, though I can’t help thinking that if you used kilometres you’d have saved yourself a bit of time. Cheers, Michael.

Way to go! I always enjoy the birthday ride journals. It's much easier to read yours than go out and do my own.
10 months agoSeems worth a stop.
10 months agoCongratulations! You may be 77, but you cycle like you're 47.
10 months agoCongratulations! It's so good to hear that the old ticker is working better. I'm looking forward to next year's effort already!
10 months agoI'm pretty sure the coyote's vocalizing was all about your birthday miles accomplishment.
Way to go!!
Thanks, Eva. I’m pretty pleased with things, obviously. Much more promising than things looked not so long ago.
