Thanks Maynard- this is a good reminder. Everyone over 39 should be aware of the signs of heart trouble.
I had my first heart attack when I was 43. I was fit, ate well and passed a stress test (given because of some minor chest pain). So one day while I was playing basketball....
It is a life changing event. It took me over a year to recover (I had some complications). But my cardiologist likes that I'm biking, says the hills are good for me, and as along as I avoid anaerobic riding in a spirit of competiveness, he applauds my commute.

Yikes. I could be that guy. Scary stuff as we try to outsprint the Grim Reaper to the finish line.

Thanks Tom and Khal...
I get such great comments. I wish I could ride with each one of you - today!
