OLD GUYS RULES

OLD GUYS RULES

YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THE SHIRTS AND HATS, usually on old guys who are kinda pudgy and unreasonably confident.  I get it, but don't done it...

... more about that later.

I bring this up because lately the interwebs be chiming that old guys shouldn't be advising young guys...

... according to medium guys.

And really Peter Sagan brought it home on the latest The Move podcast discussing today's racing... 

... versus how they used to race.

I tell them young guys, why going so fast.  No need.

Whatever old man.

We go down hill and young guys crashing, all for nothing.

Another GenXer on X, was even harsher on old guys trying to help young guys.

Old guys are irrelevant. 

I thought about it all day...

... probably because I'm of a certain age.

I think when it comes to tactics, yes, the old guys' rules are probably outdated and useless.

But!,
when it comes to strategy I'll take the age-old wisdom of the old-age guys every time.

In business, a tactic would be knocking doors.  I did that.  Almost pointless to do these days...

... the wisdom is to hustle and get out there and be seen.

In training, a tactic is use a heart monitor.  I did that.  But, there's a lot more tech to be learned and mastered for improvement...

... the wisdom is to ride piles of miles.

Anyway, if you're into improving...

  • old guys have the strategies
  • young guys have the tactics

... those are the rules.

I love looking for the timeless ones...

... and ladies still love flowers.
