Paul Tetrick, at 85, had the unusual and distinct pleasure of riding in the same Cycling Time Trial Championships as his 31-year-old granddaughter, Alison, a professional cyclist. Sure, their times were different, but since each cyclist in the time trial is racing against the clock, not the other cyclists, it didn’t matter. What did matter was the joy of riding together. That being said, Paul has won over a dozen USA Cycling Time Trial titles, which considering that he only started cycling after turning 60, is impressive.

Interestingly, Paul started cycling when his long-time running caught up with him and his knees were suffering. Cycling daily keeps him fit, happy – and competing.
