Boomers will eat your lunch!

That's right, 60!
And sometimes I feel intimidated by all you 20 and 30 somethings, trim and fit with your Serottas and Cannondales and bright Gore-tex and Pearl Izumi gear who gather in the local park 'n' ride on Sunday afternoons.
I want to be a part of your rides but I know I'm not ready yet.
But I will be.
Maybe I will never beat you but I will hold my own and earn your respect.
I'll turn that intimidating feeling into a drive and a goal to be where you are ... at least as close as I can get.
So don't look with disdain at that gray-headed guy with the slight paunch and the department store bike.
You might be him someday.
