Tom Ayres, whose bio as VP for the\u00a0East Bay Bike Coalition<\/a>\u00a0I have attached below, emailed me to let us know he just arrived in San Diego on his bike ride from San Jose! In his 60’s he did it on a Counterpoint Presto recumbent bike \u00a0at an average of 80 miles a day! Nationally sought for his expertise as a human factors consultant, he needed to be in San Diego for a conference, so he rode the 650 mile distance on a once cutting-edge machine that can still perform!<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
