Hi!

[DnvrFox]

I do some bicycling. I have a Lemond Buenos Aires, and Windsor Leeds (my "utility" road bike), a Specialized Hardrock with lights, panniers, etc., for hauling groceries and night riding, and a trainer bike. I do a variety of bicycling - about 3,500 miles per year.

Got the Lemond down from the rafters today for a nice ride. Sure a change from the other two bikes I have been riding all winter.

I also swim a few hours per week, do a lot of weight lifting (free and machines), have a stretching program, walk and am doing some balance exercises (balance starts to deteriorate as you get close to 70).

In the past, I have done the "Ride the Rockies" and a variety of centuries, etc.

I am in the process of studying for my AFAA certification, and hope to be able to help other "seniors" in their fitness goals.

I am also very involved with the 50+ Forum on bikeforums.net

Well, thanks for listening!

Here is a picture of me on the Ride the Rockies 11 years back (I don't really have a decent newer picture!!). I was 58 at the time, and had just started bicycling 3.5 months previously.

Be assured I had a road bike the next year!!



And my weight room at home:

Hey DnvrFox! I recognize your user name from Bike Forums. Welcome to JP's. You will find a wealth of knowledge here and a great group of people. I too am a cyclist and also do free weight training. That is a nice weight room you have set up!

Thanks!

Right now, I am doing most of my weight training at our rec center, which is only 1 mile away, with a nice MUP taking me from my back door to the rec room front door.

Generally, I bike over, swim for about 45 minutes, lift weights for 45 - 1 hour or so, then may go for a 20-30 mile bike ride. Other times I walk.
