That Dude in the Middle...

[coskigirl]

I gotta brag a bit. My Papa (dad) has worked super hard this season in cyclocross and really made the Cyclocross Crusade series win a goal but he had a rough start with a multi-day hospitalization in late April for unclear issues. I'm super proud to report that tonight he will be celebrated for winning his age group for the season's series taking four wins, two seconds, and one fourth in the 7 race series. Not only that, he came in 43rd out of 446 masters men (age 35+) for the season as well. That's top 10% of a group that includes dudes half his age. At 72 years young his grit and determination continues to inspire me every single day.

Excellent, I love it when the old guys school the youngsters... ('specially now that I'm an old guy).

Congrats to your Dad!!!

Staring 60 square in the face, he is an inspiration to me not to let the little creaks and groans win!

I can see that, but I was actually referring to the inflated egos in the 30+ class!

You sure he wasn't riding an e-bike?

Just kidding - that is awesome and inspirational. Congrats.
