Good story. I like the name of the club. I wonder if they got that from "Oh
Brother. Where Art Thou"?
Once upon a time I was on a cross state ride and was separated from the
other riders. Why I was riding alone I don't remember. Either everybody
had passed me or I had gotten off to a real early start or an awfully late
one. But anyway, I topped a hill and saw a rider off in the far far
distance. So of course I had to catch him. I gave my tricked out midnight
purple VRex everything I had and after a while I finally caught up with him.
Turns out he was the oldest rider on the tour at 91. He was on a Mt. Bike
keeping a slow but steady pace. He had done this 450 mile tour for the past
several years and had no problem with it.
The chase left me exhusted and I had to stop and rest. He kept on going.
I'll probably end up in the Recumbent Hall of Shame for my effort.
