Last year I turned 52, and went through my 2nd tibial plateau fracture from trying to be "radder" than I really am. I figured it was time to take stock of how I approach riding, and all of the things you talk about came to light for me. Hence now I have one bike to do it all in a "jack of all trades, master of none" type of attitude. And, at the heart of it, a set of Vittoria Syerras keeping me quicker on the climbs, and less prone to just "send it". Thanks for the column Dave. It's good to know I'm not alone.
