Fun & Fitness over 50

I'm thankful for a lot more important things than I'm going to list here. But since this is about cycling, skiing and fitness, that's what I'm going to tell you about. So, yeah, I know this is kind of a materialistic list. :-)

This Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2008, I'm thankful for:

• The health and capability, at age 60, to ride a bike and ski
• Mrs. MTBMan1, who got me to downhill ski and took up cycling to be with me and likes it
  
• My vintage Raleigh Olympian road bike





• My rigid Ross Mt.St.Helens "mountain" bike



• My Trek 4100 mtn bike



• My "buff" multifunction headgear



• My $22 bargain Optic-Nerve glasses with switchable lenses



• My Pearl-Izumi padded fingerless gloves



• cold-weather tights (comfy!)
• cycling socks



• SmartWool socks (pricey but worth it)



• Shimano cycling shoes and clipless pedals that I got for $20 on craig's list! (love a bargain!)




• Pearl-Izumi Am-Fib shoe covers (nice quality - keep the tootsies toasty)



• Matt and Mad Dog Bicycles, literally 1 block down the street from me. How cool is that?
• All new drive train on the Raleigh (smooth!)
