Re: welcome to old age....
It just sneaks up on you Rich.
Time is just one sneaky be-otch.
Don't worry, Dan won't let an old sandbagger like you ride with a "5" very long. Soon you will be up in the row "3" with all those fast young guys and few stubborn old farts (me).

Re: welcome to old age....
I got in the B class at the burg in 2012 and was out of my league. I need to drop 30 lbs and ride more than 4 times a year and i will be there with ya. No shame though, i got nothing left to prove. Just wanna have fun ...

Yeah, I can laugh all I want now... but someday it'll happen to me. When I started in the A class there were plenty of "old guy" spots, you being one of them. When's the last time you actually raced?

Re: welcome to old age....
Now or never, The thrill of the ride, the stiffer my suspension and the more squirrely the terrain the more fun. Im sure I wouldn't have near as many aches and pains, If I choose not to race. I just keep coming back for more and hope for consistency. Hang in their Slim/.
