Props to you for being able to do 3 beers half way into a century. On a long distance ride I might do one beer but I find any more than 2 really starts to impact my performance.
Sometimes, if its a nice day and I have had a long ride I will have a few beers with only a few miles left to go. I am also very much of the attitude that you don’t need a super expensive bike, even though I would love to have a Cervelo!

Back when I was racing, the coaches used to always tell us “it’s not the bike that makes you go fast.”

Dude, you are the real deal!

I am 44, 223lbs, ride a Ti 29er rig with full XX group, rode to Yosemite, LA, and Seattle several times, raced Cat 1 for 10+ years, high mileage rides since age 13, starting on my paper route bike in any kind of weather, and put a ton of heart in every ride I do. We ride because thats what we do. We know who we are. Boat drinks!

We all take ourselves and our issues out on our bikes, old or new, expensive or cheap, and work them out. The beauty of the bike is that if we ride long enough and true enough, the issues fade into the background and we become just another struggling person enjoying one of life’s great equalizing pleasures.

If you ride even half as good as you tell as story, you must be a hell of a demon on a bike.

Really enjoyable read. A clear talent for writing.

I spent my strongest years as a rider on a SS MTB or an skinny tube steel bike on road group rides. I never received respect off the bike until I had earned it on the bike. Ride super smooth and learn to lead regardless of what speed you can maintain. You will get their respect soon enough.

Embrace the sandbagger turned Road Angel role.
