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!

Way to go Bike Chick. I am thinking about competing in Senior Olympics this year as a 50 year old baby.

You should do it. It's really a lot of fun. A lot of our "younger" friends made fun of us but I didn't care. There was a 90 year old man in both Illinois and Missouri that competed. How inspiring. I don't think I could even get my leg over a bike at that age much less competing in a time trial and a road race.

I started riding when I was 49, I've done some centuries and triathlons, looking to do a half ironman this coming summer. love mountain biking also. Even better I've integrated it into my everyday life and do most of my grocery shopping on my commuter bike.

Good for you, Janine! I'm always inspired when I see women here who started riding relatively late in life. Just shows that it's never to late to change your life for the better. Welcome!
