Well done mate! I'm also 46, 90+ Kilos and I got exactly the same reaction
from t' missus after a 5.5 hour, 120K bike path circuit round Melbourne
today. Wifes just dont understand. Mine's probably still a bit thingy just
'cause I'll be on the GVBR next weekend which means I'll miss her Birthday.

Nice work both of you!

Is a.b going to have to setup a trust for you Flaps, you
know, to pay for the medical bill when you return to
your wife post-missed birthday? ;-)

Trust fund? I think a cricket box would be a cheaper, and more effective, preventative measure 😄

Medical bill? What, to sew 'em back on? Don't need them anymore anyway,
already have 4 children.

But all donations gratefully received and will go to the BABBFFF (That's the
"Buy A Black Bianchi For Flaps Fund" )

Tax deductible of course, as I am a non-profit organisation. (I did mention
that I have 4 kids.)

Congratulations! I am a little bit younger than you and I am 27 kg lighter
than you and I still can not do 57 km in one ride.
But I hope to one day though.

what kind of a bike do you ride? expensive? light?

Best wishes!
