Last year, there were two riders on Swanton Pacific 75 who rode and finished 
with mechanical issues:  one rode with two shoulder joint replacements and 
two hip replacements.  Another rode with one hip replacement. The former 
rider was, I would guess, in his 50s and the latter was in her mid-70s. 
Pretty amazing, I would say.
