I posted earlier on, I mere youth at 51 & keen mtb rider from a youth of moto cross.
Here’s a brief on my step father, Pete Smith look him up on the web, ex international cyclist rode the Olympics with a group of life long friends from York, he packed in to raise kids etc at late 30’s, retired 65, the same day buys a new road bike & drops over a year 4 stone, he’s a life president of Clifton cycling club York, now I’m keen but geez he’s out 4 to 5 times a week & usually does 60 to 100 miles, now 70 & goes of most of the time on his own as he prefers to ride at HIS own pace… what a machine, I think the world of him & have the utmost respect for him, I only hope I can ride half as much as he does at that age, I take my hat to him.
