Are there many, some, a few of us over 50??

Hi All,
I am 62 and spending a lot of time in the gym and on the road with my husband. We are riding around southern California and loving it.

spazzdog ( I have a dog that fits that name). I know what you mean about AARP mail. I wish there was a way to opt out.

My 29 year old son received mail from AARP, at my address.
Oops.

Move house overseas for four years, move back and then move twice again in the next three years. Somehow I have managed to shake all of the missionaries of various sects and the AARP. Of course those 4 moves kicked me over 20 major moves with and without children but always with pets in 36 years of marriage.

I didn't start riding until I was 59 but still do as much as I can.

Hey folks, we broke the 15,000 views barrier on this thread!

It's kinda of inspiring that we keep this thread alive over...the years. Like a little running chain of support, hope, looking back and forward as we get older...we answer our next age.

Ladicon, I see you are in SanDag. Do you have a group you ride with?

I am 59 and will do my fifth AIDS Lifecycle in June. In NoCal there are so many groups to ride with. I mainly stick to the AIDS Lifecycle Cat2 training rides. No one gets left behind.

I'm 53 and competed in the Illinois and Missouri Senior Olympics last year in cycling and triathlon. What fun!!! And I was one of the youngest ones there!

Wooot! I am 52 and just learned how to mountain bike this year

(then came the fall that aggravated the neck arthritis that took me off the mountain bike until next year, but it is a wonderful start :-)
