I'm 40. I started riding a few years ago after a number of years as a couch potato. I feel like a new person. I've been lucky to meet and ride with any number of people who are in their 50s, 60s and 70s, and they've really made me really rethink aging. God willing, it is possible to remain active, energetic, healthy, etc., etc. I hope I'm just like them in 20-30 years' time.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

60 for a few more months!!! The average age of the last three WomanTours rides that I did was 59, 61, 61!! The oldest was 75!! Way to go, Glenna! There were two 70 yr. olds on the cross country in 2007!!! I LEARNED about the trip from a lady who was 74 and had done it the year before. She was a strong cyclist!!! Keep the faith, ladies, we can ride a long time more!!!

48...will be 49 this summer. Doesn't seem real somehow-lol
Road a lot last year for the first time, got a beginner road bike and had a great time. This winter was rough as far as health issues go, but now that soring has arrived, I'm starting to get back out there. Got a new commuter to replace my falling apart W*M mtb bike so I'll be ready to start riding to work again.You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
