Growing older is a complex journey filled with highs and lows.

Got to keep going until I can't.

I can descend a lot faster on the Trek 1500 compared to the carbon bike since it's twitchy going down hill, but a lot lighter when climbing.

You got my respect when you ride those type of bikes

Yea there not much rubber on the road on the skinny tires, so one has to keep an eye on what your riding conditions are.

I hate wrecking, & have done several times, so I pay attention to the conditions & the other traffic I have to deal with.

But I still like to go fast on the road bikes vs. a Mtn bike, which what my "winter" bike was until I converted it

My rides.

My training bike, which is my fav. Old pics since I've upgraded the power-trains on the first two.

My "winter bike" for when it gets sloppy out.

All three are a good time.

My little e-bike (DYU - D3F). I plan to move on to something bigger (but not much faster) one of these days. For a 65 year old with 12 screws in my neck. This is plenty of bike for me..

I'm surprised I'm not banged up considering the wrecks I've had. I guess I know how to bounce off the pavement the right way even if I get chewed up.
