M1960: You might be delirious on your stationary bike but I need to be very alert too.
I posted a sudden stop probably from 35 mph last week to avoid scattering 2 grouse with 8/9 very newly hatched chicks ( on my Facebook if you want to view)
Get yourself a Grail Canyon and live life while your knees still hold up.
I'll be out tomorrow too 😍

M1960: At 60, I'm happy to ride on the bike.
It's exhilarating!
I'm no expert and rarely fall off. Even tonight, on tarmac, the wind behind and downhill slopes.....speed was tremendous but the bike is easy to control.
A gravel bike, spot on for my home terrain...plus the Lakes, when I get back to stay.

I find that Tabata HIIT on a stationary bike is a good (and time-efficient) albeit brutal way to keep fairly fit now that I no longer run, although I would advise anyone wanting to try it to talk to their GP first.
I wouldn't want to risk falling off an ordinary bike and inflicting even more damage on my legs!😮

Sigurd: Was the " Yes" above saying you could still overtake me on foot?
Cheers, it gives the feeling you will have existed on for years.

Fairly flat hills.....is this the area you would expect to bike with a world respected mountaineer ?
👍😇
An evening with Mr Hinkes 😊
