Are there many, some, a few of us over 50??

Just turned 51 last month. Don't you hate it when all those young girls go by you on hills? Well....maybe not for some of you. Could it be just me????

Actually what drives me nuts are all the OLDER ladies who beat me uphill

I love the memories of world changing historical events!!! I'm only 35 so my memories of world channging events from the late 70's & 80's are not as exciting..

Anng-whenever I see the early footage of the Beatles when they hit America i too get a bit teary. It must be the screams and the excitement but it sends cool shivers down my spine!

Shootingstar-i'm young and people still call me 'young lady'

Yea, cc you ARE young for real.

I guess, it's all perspective, mimi.. I work in a heavily male dominated organization. Of all the managers there, I am only 1 of 2 managers who are female...the rest of the other 9 managers are male. I don't want to be the female manager puppy dog 'mascot' in that organization.

I dunno..maybe when I walk from the bus stop to the worksite...with my bike gear on...it makes me look young, especially wearing spandex cycling shorts ...or just slightly ..stupid. Honest several construction guys have yelled at me." Where's your bike?"

I give them the location of my bike locker..which is 30 kms. away and tell them I live downtown. Which is 45-50 kms. away from work ..over highway bridge, several road highways, long hills and more twisty routes with more transport trucks, etc. I can't commute by bike all the way. They are appropriately surprised by where I commute from in whatever mode I use.

If I did bike all the way this horribly convoluted and long route one way..I would truly be a young goddess.. in ...their eyes.
