Wow, where are all the young female cyclists at!?

I am 28. DH thinks I am a complete freak because I am actually excited that I will be 30 soon. I am so done with my 20's. He is turning 30 next year and is dreading it.

I love that a woman who is 63 leads rides weekly for women mountain bikers. That is SO inspiring. I also have done many centuries with people in there 60-70's. Heck I did the MS150 with a man riding that was 90! He made it all 150 miles. I love that this board is a mix of ages, locations, experiences.

When my Mammaw was in her 70's she had a 1/2 acre size garden she tended to. At 92 she has a walker but she still does the NY Times crossword in pens and all kinds of crafts plus walks herself around the grocery store (we can't get her list right you see). I can't wait to be old AND active. Old and sitting on my butt eating bonbons is only for after the long bike ride I did that morning.
