I don't know how old you are, Dave? I am still doing the same training ride I did 30 years ago with a bunch of guy who race. The young skinny bastards are fast, just like they always have been and kill us slower, older guys on the hills. Hey, I use to be one to turn on the gas when possible. I finish the damn thing most times but still enjoy the ride itself a lot. Just turned 54 a couple days ago. I tell you this, when they get on the gas and sprint up this 1/4 mile long hill off the saddle, I can hang up until near the top and they spit me out if I don't get enough miles in that week. Right when Covid started, I was doing 250 pretty hard miles per week. I felt like if I was 23 again. Once I reduced that mileage to about 75, a couple weeks later, I feel the difference in the power coming out of my legs.
I ride a Time with Shimano now.
