Learning To Ride at Age 50
Listen to the man!!....... Mr. Moore he the man!! Wrist guards if nothing else. I think I'd go with elbow guards next. I stiff armed the pavement at college racing another guy. I left an perfect imprint of my waffle stomper where I came off and a 7foot streak of blue jeans jacket on the pavement where my shoulder hit and skidded after stiff arming the pavement my elbow didn't stay locked and it snapped down and hit the pavement too!! I didn't break anything but my wrist and elbow hurt for about a month even with the electo therapy. -- Qweld Flats blow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Qweld's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14883 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/19853 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Learning To Ride at Age 50
I have been learning since the age of 53 ... I am 58 now and still learning. very slow learner but no despair: the joys of unicycling pay for the many, many falls and missed tries. keep going. my practice of choice: Muni ! ah the joys of Muniing in the woods .... time freezes and I am not ageing any more I am not a man of "challenge" but nonetheless I think I should do something for my 60th birthday next year .... something enjoyable (not a 600km ride!) .... any suggestion? -- wobbling bear One Wheel : bear necessity ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wobbling bear's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3716 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/19853 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I was planning on a 60km ride on my 60th but didn't train for it. I felt guilty that day so I just did a short ride around the neighborhood. 60km should be doable if you've trained for it and the terrain isn't too hilly. My wife and I signed up to do a century ride on bikes in September. They do have a 37 mile option. Maybe next year I should do it on a uni. I'd do it this year but I promised I'd ride with her. -- patmoore MY GALLERY (\"HTTP://WWW.UNICYCLIST.COM/INDEX.PHP?PAGE=GALLERY&G2_ITEMID=193091\") "When you're over the hill, you pick up speed!"
