Oh my, I now qualify for this thread -- I'm 51. But I'm one of the youngsters in my bike club -- the folks over 60 are the ones who put in the most miles. One is almost at 10,000 miles for the year, another (who's over 70) is closing in on 5000 miles despite a major injury last spring.
Yep, when this thread started I didn't qualify either -- now I'm 54, will be 55 in April, so it's been going on for awhile! Retirees in good health have more time to ride, so it makes sense that the older members of your bike club are putting in the serious miles. Since I'm in Mexico, this has been a very low-mileage year for me, but last year was 7500 miles, my biggest year ever. Not sure I'll ever manage that again as it took a serious obsession and neglecting other activities I also enjoy, but I'm hoping on a much better cycling year next year than this!Quote:

What a nice walk down memory lane! I'm 52 now and it's gratifying to think how far I've come since this thread started. I was just thinking the other day that the crash had knocked me back to square one, cycling wise, but maybe not.
Physically you might have catching up to do, but the skills and lessons learned are still there.Quote:
