Adrenaline & age does it affect you?

It's old age Dave! 👴😂

Went out today on the 400 by the time I had all my gear on all was calm - had a short 20 mile run out.
Uneventful aside from the usual hip lock as my 400 is too small for me.

Not so much, but I was always seriously looking forward to a ride...
Which has faded noticeable, won't care about any short morning/afternoon hops anymore... way too much effort with gearing up, etc... :o
A one, two, three weeks tour makes more sense... still quite a task with planing, prepping, packing, etc... but once I'm finally on the road I'm into it... 8)

Good point about gearing up taking time & effort. When I was a Tech College student my daily commute was around 10 miles each way. Gearing up consisted of a helmet & Anorak in the summer, no boots or gloves needed. Visor was essential as there were so many insects back then that unlike today.

I took advantage of the warm weather this week going out for a couple of 40 mile runs out. On my run up to Leek yesterday I was fine no Adrenaline issues just a relaxed enjoyable ride out.
When riding on two wheels you certainly notice the poor road surfaces. The road out to Bottom Houses is littered with those ribbed concrete strips to make you slow down on bends.
