They found Glen Plake at the TDF

Always a smile on his face. He bikes a lot, too. He's not wearing shoes because he took his cleats off. Up on the Col de Galibier in the French Alps.

Plake is an awesome role model for all us old farts. Of course, he is well funded, which helps.

Well funded? I know he is "sponsored" by Mammoth, therefore, Alterra, and Elan, probably a few other equipment makers, but I kinda doubt he's what you could call rich. He sure seems happy all the time, though. Check out his Instagram.

Love that hat.

Always cheers me up to se what he’s getting into.

Interesting. He'll be 60 later this year. The article came out soon after he qualified as a PSIA Examiner. He decided to give PSIA a try in 2009 and was Level 3 by 2011. His wife is Level 3 too.

Always enjoy notes from their Down Home Tours.

I seem to have to dig this pic up and post in every glen plake thread, circa 2010 from Edge of Never traveling premier. Love Glen and Kimberly Plake

Yup, his net worth isn't really very much honestly but man, what a life he's had!
