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.

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.

Way to go!!
Thanks, Eva. I’m pretty pleased with things, obviously. Much more promising than things looked not so long ago.
