That was the most satisfying victory. Blackmon says she has seen women's senior softball change dramatically in the past decade. The quality of play has gotten better and better. Ten years ago, they hadn't played in 30 years. I was a rarity back then.
Seniors are so much more active today.
Blackmon is still a rarity. The bicycle touring company she started two years ago, called Senior Cycling, is booming, with Blackmon acting as the tour guide, teacher and mentor much the same as she has done on the softball field.
