Good on ya, Doc.

I don't know how many I have done but I was 52 in 2008 when I did my last. That was one year after getting clobbered. Since then, though I still have the ability, I just don't have the desire. I would rather stop and smell the roses(aka stop and bend an elbow).

That said, make sure the bike fits you 'perfectly'. Same with the shoes if they are cleats. Probably more so with the shoes. It would suck to drop at 90 miles with knee pain. Take your time, better to finish able to drive home than to have your tongue flapping in your spokes. Also, invest in a little green can of Bag Balm. Your butt will thank you.
