The 55-year-old’s consistency would certainly attest to this. “I was 14 when I started racing in 1984 and I haven’t missed a year since! I am about to start my 41st consecutive year of racing,” he says. Well into his fifth decade, he’s still getting faster, and has been riding daily for over seven years.
