Tell us about your weekend ride

Take that 58-year-old off his bike for 2 weeks, and he'll atrophy catastrophically. The only reason he's going well, is that he hasn't missed a week of riding since the late 80s. Any break, and he'll need 2000 basemiles to regain some semblance of form.

Really? Sounds a bit extreme, but I'm no expert.

Maybe his advise will be to establish good habits then. Don't leave it!
