Depending on what your diet is like, you may be able to push off statins with dietary change. General belief is keep total fats < 30% total calories, sat fats < 7% total calories, dietary cholesterol < 200 mg/ day, and take 1000 mg fish oil supplement. OTOH, based on the amount of cycling you do, you should have an incredibly high HDL and therefore a healthy proportion of Total Cholesterol to HDL (under 3.5 IIRC).

Sounds really great, John! Yesterday I passed 450 miles for the year-to-date, turned a 7-mile errand into a 19-mile loop to do extra errands. (Wednesday's ride would have been cancelled for weather.)

Update
I have put 570 miles on my bike since my quadruple bypass. Tuesday I rode 27 miles at 18 mph by myself. I feel great. I am on a new diet, Dr. Esselstyn's . My total cholesterol is 98. I take 40mg of a statin. They are going to drop me to 20mg.

Thanks for the encouragement. I just got the route and I will try to ride it next week. I am looking forward to the ride!

Frank, I agree with Joe. If you ride any amount regularly you will be able to bring your A-game on ride day. It just happens between the excitement and atmosphere. I would go for it if I were you!
