I have a husband and a child,I just turned 40 and I plan on going skydiving this year.I cant imagine it any more dangerous than having my daughter 9 years ago and very nearly dying.Or the horrible bike wreck my husband survived a few years ago that left his teammate in the hospital for 6months.I still worry less about him than before he started riding, was 30lbs overweight and smoked 2 packs of cigs a day. I don't plan on being boring or acting my age anytime soon especially since I could just as easily die by mundane things. A masters athlete I once met was 76 and ran hurdles (at a time when many worry about breaking a hip)she started racing at 70.Quite the inspiration
I like bikes, sometimes more than my husband
