What I've heard is that when a woman is pregnant her blood volume increases and that it never goes back to pre-pregnancy levels so each time she has a child she ends up with a higher blood volume. More blood = more hemoglobin = more O2 to the musclesOriginally Posted by hellosunshine

Added myself to the 55 - 59 group since I'll be turning 55 in a week. I don't feel it, don't think I look it, but I find myself wondering how the years rolled by so quickly since 40...

I'm with you, five one! I'm 53 & the years have flown by. Originally Posted by five one

I'm a strong rider but not a fast one. Can't climb too well because of breathing - I have exercise induced asthma and climbing is when I really feel it. However, give me enough time and I can ride all day & love every minute of it - including the climbing!"When I'm on my bike I forget about things like age. I just have fun." Kathy Sessler

26 here. But in my town I feel OLD (College Station, TX)! I started riding at 18 when I met DH. I raced tons in college and got pretty fast. Grad school came along and slowed me way down. When I started working full time (and not going to school too) I started riding seriously again. Most people around here are male, and either college age or 40-60 range. Me and DH are kinda the odd man out here

I just added myself to the 50-54 group. Although I'll hit the big 5-5 in September, I'm still in that younger category...er, this minute!
I so wish that I'd kept cycling after college, when I used my bike strictly for transportation. I missed out on so much by not riding. Bought an mtb about 9 years ago and didn't get back on the road until 2-3 years later. Now I'll happily admit to anybody who wants to listen that cycling is truly an obsession. And yep, I got the flat wallet to prove it!
