Ever wonder if 60 is the new 30... on a bike? This episode of Cycling Over Sixty is packed with mountains (both literal and metaphorical). Tom Butler tackles a challenging 25-mile test ride through the Washington mountains, a key section of this session challenge to ride across the state. But will the test ride answer concerns or raise red flags with his ever-supportive (but perhaps slightly apprehensive) wife, Kelly?

Plus, is age really just a number? Tom sits down with Dr. Erin Medina, a lifestyle medicine expert, to discuss a couple of thought-provoking articles by Phil Daoust in The Guardian online. Can Tom turn back time on his fitness level, or are there new ways to define peak performance over 60?
