    I'm 46 and new to the forum. It's great to hear there are so many women around my age. I was afraid I'd feel older than dinosaur poop!

    Hey welcome!!
    I'm 55, been riding steadily for a little over 3 years now. I feel a lot younger than dinosaur poop.

    I had the same thought when I joined the forum (I'm 58), but found a wide variety of ages here. I see people of all ages on bikes.

    50.5 - So glad to hear I'm not the only one being hounded by AARP . . .


    (Trek420 - My MTB was also custom built by RWW!)

    51, cruising to into 52 this year. Could be worse!
    It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)

    Turned 50 ten years ago today. Only re-started riding about 8 years back. Then it was as a commuter and shopper in Santa Cruz on my sabbatical there. Good way to lose weight, I thought, and it worked. Also easier parking and less gas costs, though I did still have to have a car for longer trips, and I had to buy a bike. Five years later, on sabbatical again, I started trying charity rides because Trek420 said, "Of course you can do a century; here's your training plan." Oh, and to lose more weight, which still worked. And to feel I deserved the gorgeous 30th anniversary Cinderella Classic jersey, which I still have though I didn't finish the whole ride until this year. Anyhoooo ... if I'm older than dinosaur poop, then it's poop that's been frozen in a glacier all those years and just got rethawed now the glaciers are shrinking. Still smells fresh as new.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
