Book keeping error...

Another piece of advice I'll add. If you're going to add more structure/ volume to your workouts, be sure to taper the high energy efforts before your next ride day. I've put myself in a position of being sore/stiff going into my ride day (I ride 1 day a week) and the whole thing becomes counterproductive because you're not recovered. Listen to your body, we're not 25 anymore. Recovery just takes a little longer.

I’ll be 69 in march. I quit riding mid 80’s due to back issues/surgery. I started back riding about 6 years ago. When I started back, I knew what to do just couldn’t do it like I could when I raced lol. I’ve gotten a little better but still roll big jumps. I struggle with some right hand corners too.

When I get off the rd, I do a lot of stretching at the y. I need epadural injections in back, neck, back of shoulder, that messed up the arm. I do hv a style similar to...

I'm only 35 years old, so no where near your age and can only imagine what it is like to ride at 69 years old. But one thing that helps me when I see a jump that I know I can do but I am afraid of is to cut the track, find the straightest and safest entrance to the jump and hit it from there. And then do that a few times in a row to make sure I have a good feeling for it before trying to link it into a full lap. I find that sometime if...

You got that right! I love a good berm and a jump with a nice easy take off.

Wow, 69, outstanding. Here's a tip you might not want to hear... no more jumping! Just rip the corners and go home with a smile on your face.

Ever heard of Ally Bank, that was a broke GMAC with billions of our money thrown at it.
