That final phrase is the most important, IME. Why is a guy like Tom, in
his seventh decade, buying ever lighter, ever more aero equipment?

As he describes things, he's doing almost entirely solo rides. If he
finishes his ride three minutes earlier, he gets no prize. And if he is
faster than last year because he bought new aero wheels, he's not in
better shape.

Tome needs to stop trying to be the guy on the right

and accept being the guy on the left.

Frank, when did I ever suggest to you how you should ride? What would enter your mind that it was your business to tell me how to ride?
Tom, if you don't want to discuss how you should ride, why do you post
here endlessly discussing your rides - how many miles, how many feet you
climbed, whether you felt faster or slower, whether you had enough
sleep, who passed you and who you passed, etc.?

Do you not notice that nobody else does that more than rarely?

Surely you don't do it because you think we're really curious!

So maybe it's a subconscious desire for good advice.

Here it is again: Act your age. Quit trying to buy youth and fitness.
Slow down, look around, appreciate the scenery.

I post about my rides which is pertinent to my bikes and you are so psychologically damaged that you believe it is a cry for help. Frank, every posting you make shows that there is definitely something wrong with you. Go ride your 20 year old piece of **** any way you like. Real bicyclists will ride as they like.
