Non Scale Victories

I think we're forgetting that alot of women in their 40's and up don't feel comfortable wearing short shorts or even shorts at all. Wearing shorts that show alot of leg, is something not to take for granted as time moves on.

Cycling regularily encourages leg-showing off ..with excellent reasons (ie. cooler, movement efficiency, etc.) I suspect that good cycling fit also slows down / reduces alot of other leg problems. Would like to know if all those problems of varicose veins plague regular cyclists much at all.

It was amusing when I had a picnic lunch with some other women who were probably in their late 30's and up. They felt it was inappropriate for a woman to wear shorts (probably at least 5-6 inches above knee) after 50.

I kept my mouth shut and said nothing. They don't know that I will be 50 next year. I think they sense that I'm around their age. Whatever that is.
