Ridecamp: Re: [RC] serious side/ drugs

Wow, did you open up a topic with this one!!  I'm fuming!  One of the things
about endurance I'm always braggin about is that it isn't one of those "18
and you're a has-been" sports.
And yes, Angie, I'm tougher and have more endurance by far than when I was
younger.  And I want to keep doing this until at least in my 70s thank you
very much.
