Congrats Snap! I will drink to your health and your biking in 8 days. (Any excuse will do. ) I'm 46 11/12 and I hope to be biking when I'm 50 and 60 and , well, who knows...

54 now, but 55 later this year! Double nickels--seems like grounds for a huge party.

To second what Nina said, I didn't ride for a few years in my 40s, and I'm sorry to have missed those years I could've been cycling. But, it makes me more avid now about making time for my bike. And time for me.....

I'll be 24 in July. I ride with a lot of women who are older than me (in my group the next age up is early-mid 30's) and they pedal just as hard and fast as I do. I only hope to be like them and the ladies on this forum when Im their age
I think that many 'kids' my age dont ride because a). it does cost $$; I had to save for months and work extra hours to get my first bike, which was 'low end' (about $600). b). people my age are too busy partying it up.
I do a little comparison to my twin sister's lifestyle and mine and it kinda proves the point: we're both in grad school, have jobs, live in large towns/cities (she's in Tallahassee and Im in Orlando), have exposure to extracurricular activities, such as riding. But, I go to bed around 9-10 pm on Friday(but cant sleep 'cause Im too excited for the ride) so I can get up on Saturdays at 6am to ride 50+ miles with my group. She, on the other hand, is too busy partying on Friday and then getting over her hangover on Sat. morning. She'd rather spend her money on the beer sale at the local grocery store, while Im again srimping my dough to get a new, higher end bike, which seems like it'll take forever

48, or as my dear younger brother put it "4 dozen", last month.

Back in college I had an old Peugot bike (given to me by a boyfriend), but I didn't ride it much because I hated the traffic. I got into mountain biking about 10 years ago because of a different boyfriend. That slowly morphed into road biking, and now triathlons. No boyfriends now, but LOTS of bikes.
