Paul, 86 years old and been riding since 1927

Today's ride: 28 mile loop.  I met Paul at Dinah Shore & Portola.  He is 86 years old and has been riding since he was three.  If my math is correct that means he has been riding since 1927.  He has been on a bike in 36 countries and tries to go out everyday.  This bike is a fairly new ride for him and it's a bit tougher climbing the hills. so he is doing some climbs today to build up his legs.  The faring is new and he thinks it gets him another 2-3 mph.  He has inspired me to keep pushing my pedals as long as I can....
