A rider for the RBW-list women

[Patrick Moore]

I stumbled on this when I should have been doing more productive things:

I am indeed impressed; she was 77 when the video was made and she could leave me in her dust, that's for sure.

So, perhaps Vera can be #2 in the feminine cyclists' pantheon, after (genuflect) Beryl Burton, of course.

I forgot to add: she has very good form!

She’s wonderful and adorable and I love her name. I want to put her on a Riv, STAT.

Patrick, what a great video.  Thanks for posting.

Very inspiring video, thanks for posting.  It's great to see the pleasure Vera gets from riding and from inspiring others.  

Last week I was riding in an unfamiliar place and stopped to look at a map. There was a friendly-looking bicyclist stopped nearby so I asked him directions, and we began talking.  He was dressed like me with clip-in shoes and helmet, otherwise comfortable street clothes.  He had a pretty nice bike, and was telling me about the new components he'd just installed.  I guessed his age to be mid-60's, as he looked about my age or younger.  He told me of two loops he regularly rides, one 18 miles and the other 25 miles.  We had a nice chat and before leaving, I asked him his age.  He said he was 87 years old, born in 1933, and added that his wife was also 87 and still beautiful.

Now that is very encouraging to those of us who just joined Medicare.
