This blog regrets that it has fallen and is only now getting up. Apologies for a lack of posts. I’ve posted photos from TR12 (Morgan Territory) and TR13 (Palomares & Calaveras) in the gallery.
*Middle-Aged Men In Lycra
Flashy sports cars are out, now no mid-life crisis is complete without a souped-up road bike. Why?
Every weekend, across the nation’s rolling countryside, watch out for the Mamils: middle-aged men in lycra. And ladies, if you have a man at home taking an unusual interest in how you shave your legs, you may have a Mamil in the making too. Research conducted by the retail analyst Mintel suggests there has been a surge in the number of middle-aged men choosing to get on two wheels.
After an endless climb in dense fog the troops broke out into bright sunshine and the goal was in sight … forever. Nearly everybody made it to the top to rest and take in the sights. Afterwards, there was about 25 miles of downhill. What’s not to like? Bugs, apparently. Ask Rusty.
Thanks to Mairin Griffith for SAG, Carlos for water and Gatorade and Rusty for giving it his best shot at replacing the rim tape on Carlos’ wheel.
