Don't know how I missed this thread but I was the big 60, in May. I started riding in 1999 on a MTB and DH took me to Ireland in 2004 for a cycling trip for our 30th anniversary. I bought a road bike the day I returned! After hearing about WomanTours and their cross country rides, I signed up for one! I am now getting ready to do my third long distance ride with them! I just love to cycle and hope I can do it until I am 80...at least that is what I am planning!
