Just wandering at what point things ‘slow down’?
I definitely have more fun on the bike as each year passes, what about you lot?

I’m guessing that you’re quite young..?

Depending on injuries and family/work commitments, every year I get fatter and thinner, not faster and slower

at the moment I’m super fast*, come the rains in mid May I’ll be super slow.

*this is completely speculative as I don’t actually measure how fast I’m going

At 53 I’m up on last year.

yeah but you was crap last year 😉

47 and the fastest I’ve been for years.

Did a hilly 85 miler yesterday averaging 17.5mph

43. Riding faster and harder up and down than ever before.

I’m having a good year too… In my last one of my thirties so it had better be good! Strava has helped my uncompetitive nature and I’m riding harder than I used to. I’ve changed to a Ti456 as my *only* mountain bike and that’s made me enjoy the offroad riding more than I have for yonks. The only thing that’s slowing down is my ability to recover. Ah well… can’t have it all. 😉

yeah but you was crap last year

I’m furiously banging away at the report button 😡

I’m faster than last year but considerably slower than 2011 and a fair bit slower than 2010.

I’m also faster than last year but considerably slower than I was 3-4 years ago.

good years and bad years. age seems irrelevant.

Doin alright thanks fer askin.

Some years are better than others though, a couple of years ago I Woz Ossum, last year I Woz Pants, this years goin well.

104 years and still kickin it.

So far I’ve got faster and fitter every year but that’s only been a few years.

Some up some down a mixture of weather , work and crashes
So far this year i seem to be back to my form of 2011 before my last proper crash

42 and still improving, I think..
