You are never to old to do something you enjoy is my life motto. Last weekend I raced and there were some women competing with me in the cat 3/4 race that also were in their mid 40. Just do some research to find a group where you can learn how to ride a race.

Some of the stronger people on my team are in the 40's and 50's - its definitely not too late (I started last year and I'm 35). Check out some local clubs/teams too find out about the racing scene in your area.

You didn't say where you're located, but here in Mpls. we have women's track night. Perhaps your track has a designated women's night, too, or classes you can take.
Yay for late-blooming cycle chicks! Let's start a club!
