I never rode in an organized race since I turned into a bike fanatic and
I sure ain't going for one of those jackass "Off a cliff" Darwin
attempts.so, no, I don't have nay trophies. It was meant to be about the
'us' in cyclists being so much better fir then the ones (younger
included) that just come home and call the couch home and the wife is
there to retrieve the beer, remote, and munchies, while the smokes have
never been out of his pocket. Just because I don't post in your accepted
'oh so humble' format does not mean I am coming here to spread ********.
Far from it, I espouse the the fitness frame of mind, and it has done us
all well, keeping me healthy beyond my time, and alive when less
motivated friends have died, since they thought exercise was evil and a
waste of time. I have about 5 years to have a friend, now 60, who thinks
that his, 'labor' job keeps him in shape. I worked 3 months with him on
a consulting contract and there is not output of BTU so he gets no
cardiovascular work from his labor job. What is wrong here?
