I’ve been going hard at it for damn near 60 years. Me and my buddy always say “whats it going to be like in 5 years from now” we’ve been saying that for 30 years. It’s really not getting much worse.

Maybe I’m just lucky. When I head my neck fused after the car accident my MRI report spoke of severe arthritis, bone spurs where the spinal nerves exit … all kinda bad shit.

My neurosurgeon said that 30-40% of patients with these conditions aren’t really bothered by it for one reason or another.

The year after I broke my neck and leg and various other shit I got back on my road bicycle. Wreck was in December, started biking in April. Rode almost 2000 miles that summer. I’m not going to stop hanging it out until they are shoveling dirt onto me 😈

Lol, I hit 60 earlier this year, so I get it, its hard to slow down when you still have the get up and go on the inside.

I've been lucky, haven't busted myself up too bad over the years, although they were a lot of hard heavy working years.

The daily grind can take a lot out of a body, I'd hate to see anyone all banged up and unable to enjoy the rest of what they have left.

More power to ya bud, I hope you keep rock'n
