    I don't mean to hijack this thread but I'm curious what the age range is for female racers? Sometimes I feel like I'd like to do more racing but then think I'm just too old for it?

    on our team we have teenagers to 50+, several of our stronger riders are over 50. I'd say the majority of us are over 35.

    3 of our team members went to the Senior Games last month (and brought back multiple medals!) where there were women up in their 70's and maybe even 80's still racing. One of our team members went to cross worlds last year and took 4th place in the 50+ category.

    Like Eden, I have teammates who range in age from 12 to 68. The 68 year old is a multi-time national road, crit, TT and 'cross champion who comes out to EVERY race. Personally, I am in my early 40s, and race with some women around my age, but many who are younger.

    My $0.02 - there is no TOO OLD to race! I'll be racing till they pry the handlebars from my cold hands .
