Small world how you speak about this guy. For years as I ride with diff groups, many riders have heard me say "Hey there's John, guy is 80+ (now) and rides about 50 mi a day....

did you notice his communter bike and flip flops!". Guy is a rockstar at the many Ciclavia's he attends. And yea Marty, "Old Guys Rule"...lol

I thought I would share this as one of our members brought him to my attention years ago.  Hope you enjoy.   Marty

Today's ride was along the beach bike path taking us to Redondo Beach Pier. It was a beautiful day cloudy but warm . On the way back I saw a gentleman riding who I had seen over the past 5 years along a few different paths in far away communities. It was unique as I ride these paths a couple times a month and though they. were different I would see him. We were always going in opposite directions at a decent clip so there was never an interaction. Today's ride was different our paths crossed at a bottle neck where we both were walking. I used this as an opportunity to stop and talk with him. His name is John and he rides 6 days a week. He. rides with sandals on a hybrid style bike. From what I gathered John's daily ride could be 60 plus miles. John's age is 83. It is great to meet people who are well into their 80's and love riding. It gives me inspiration. Thanks for taking the time to talk with us and no doubt our paths will cross again
