Happy Birthday a day early Maureen! You DO NOT look 64! Let's change it to 46. Actually, you look younger than 46.I guess you're a living testament to the power of a healthy lifestyle. Hope you have a great day tomorrow.

Happy Birthday!
But 64? No way! You look amazing.~ Susie

Gosh...I wish I could claim a healthy lifestyle....
...don't even ask about the 70's which we lovingly refer to as 'The Days of Wine and Roses'.

Woo-hoo, you rock, Maureen! I turned 54 about a month ago, and it's so inspiring to know that someone 10 years older than me--but in chronological years ONLY--is happily riding her bike.
This talk of bikes and ages makes me think of some lines from a love poem. I can't remember the title or even the poet's name, but the poet is thinking about how the beloved makes the prospect of aging seem like a delicious adventure rather than a frightening downward spiral. It works for us here at TE if we think of the "you" as our bikes:
"You alone can turn the weight of years
Into release,
Ecstasy."
Happy birthday to you and your beloved bike, Maureen!Bad JuJu: Team TE Bianchista

Boy...I'm tellin' you JuJu....talk to me in ten years. On my ride today....a woman way into her 70's kept passing me...blowing my wheels off. I finally caught up with her, introduced myself and we had lunch. She's amazing and rides a hybrid type bike....very heavy....but bikes avidly every day. At the point I caught up with her she'd completed 30 miles.
Talk about a humbling experience. I have yet to do 30 miles...but will. Doing 50 is my goal for the first 1/2 of 2007....a century the second 1/2.
Wish me luck!!!

How are you in your 60's? Wow! I hope that I look as good as you do when I'm your age. Hell, I'd be happy to look that nice at 27.
Happy birthday!!

Happy Birthday! New bike, new friend. What a great time. We got dropped by a couple of men in their 60's last year on the MS150. My little 23 year old legs couldn't keep up. I was so impressed and humbled.
