My FB page - Senior Rides , soon to be Senior Repairs

Wheels of Happiness

This page which has been the nth attempt to publish posts on biking (they were dumped by the host on alleged violation of community standards.) is not named Senior Rides.  Am senior now and I post my rides.

However, I have posted lately many articles on repairs thus am jokingly hash tagging it as #SeniorRepairs

But it does not get much readership because repairing is detailed and tedious.   Many bikers just want to ride and enjoy

However learning to repair the bike yourself:   1.  saves you money   2.  saves you trouble in long rides, 3 enables you to help others in case of others encountering bike problems   4.  it bonds you closer to your bike.    5. it makes bike mechanics more alert and more careful in their jobs

Struggling to keep up with young riders despite new bike and bike upgrades

Des[ote having a lighter bike, with new WS and XT gs,  I find it hard keeping up with young riders who climb hills effortlessly.   While my lungs seem to blow up and thighs on fire, they pedal like the hill was nothing.  

However we see also groups of riders from far away places resting like birds on flight after a long climb at noon time.

Seems like I am getting old am really old or the riders I am with are getting stronger
