Oh what a wonderful birthday present. I turned 50 on Christmas day '07. Orbea is such a wonderful bike. You'll enjoy it for many years to come.
And welcome to the board.

Oh, just say you are half-century old. There's something that sounds stately about that halfway point to 100 years.
We should aim to cycle the distance of our new age each time.
Either it gets better...or more challenging.

Nice present....Orbea does make some of the sexiest bikes out there. If that bike doesn't put "young" in the heart, I don't know what will!

Happy belated birthday and wow! what a gorgeous bike! Hope you have miles and miles of fun! Originally Posted by conurejade

Will hit #55 myself in a couple of weeks and, like many others here, I rode all over as a kid, but didn't get hooked on cycling as an adult until 1997.
I lost my brother to AIDS and found myself training to do my first AIDS fundraising ride - thinking of it as a unique way to honor him as well as challenge myself. That was thousands of miles ago - both with training rides and riding for the same reason across a number of states...have raised almost $100k and I believe that we're getting closer to having that last AIDS ride, so we can celebrate a cure and then ride for the pure enjoyment of it, right?!

Celebrating 50 with Cross Country Tour
Hey Surgtech. I'm still working out the logistics on this one. My first attempt at a really LONG unassisted ride. Have done a lot of touring in my neck of the woods--New York and New England. So I won't have to purchase gear. Looking at potential routes and considering maps from Adventure Cycling. Open to all suggestions and thoughts.
