Bike race

I will be participating in an outdoor adventure race tomorrow. Will be riding the six mile mountain bike portion of the three part race. (Other team members will be canoeing and running.) It has been raining here and I expect the course to be muddy and treacherous. I plan, however, to take it easy. At 52 years old I am no longer interested in competing with (as we used to say when I played high school football) reckless abandon
