Responded earlier to the 'over 40' thread. Then when I saw this one, I thought...hey, that's me!
Turned 50 last December and I've been riding for about the last 10 years.

Love my road bike (KHS Flite 500) but spend way too much time at the LBS lusting after a new one. Don't anyone tell my bike that I've been shopping ....she might get a little hurt, having seen me through 2,000 or so km every summer with nary a flat!
