Old Cyclists Never Die

First entry. It's time to take a break from riding, but the weather here in Ohio has just been too great. Need to get into the weight room and stop riding to let my legs and brain recover and prepare a plan for next year. I lost a lot of speed this year as I turned 61. I'm not sure if it's age or returning to work after a couple of years off. Anyway, I'm doing 2 or 3 night rides a week as long as the temperature stays above 35, but I don't have the will to push very hard this time of year. Hopefully the pace will slow down when it gets cold.
