You lot should stand back now and again and read the drivel you collectively post, this thread aside.Would you like me to go get a few samples?
Yeah, go on!
(Don't worry lads; he'll be bloody ages, as there's mountains of shite on here. I should know, I've helped create some of 'em!)
Oh dear GRF. I have rodgered your sort stupid on many occasions. I guess someone already rodgered you stupid tho - or do you have another excuse for being quite so hard of thinking?
Now TJ indulges himself in bitchslappin ?? Whatever next ?
crikey, TJ, relax yerself. Trainspotting is on Franco...
Looks like TJ has bitch-slapped GRF there. I'd say it's a pwning, even.
All that sport, and GRF still has anger issues. Maybe he should take up something a bit calmer, like knitting or baking.
Or try some stronger medication.
Nurse! Yes, I'm afraid he's done it again. I'll get the porters to bring up some rubber sheets this time...

You called? Is it the old trouble?
Fraid so. Quite a messy one this time, too. I think we're going to need some more Dettol...
Good job I have a strong stomach
I think we're going to have to declare a Biohazard in Ward 9. There's things crawling in it.

Speshly not when they do it to themselves as well as you have...
I mean do you even go riding, like ever?
Do what? And lose out on valuable forum posting time? Are you completely mad??
Nurse!
NURSE!
did you say a bad word Elfin ?
My old man is 67 and is doing the Brechfa trails regularly and also Doethie valley. John Lloyd must be pushing 70 if not more and whoops the young whipper snappers on the race course. I don't think age has an affect until it no longer becomes enjoyable.
respect to your old man taff. that's the way it's gonna be!
Elfinsafety - MemberI assumed it was strong medication (of the non-prescription variety) that turned him into the basket case he obviously is.

I can't be bothered reading this thread, but the original premise is a bunch of arse.
If you're that soft headed why not give up mountain biking at 25 and take up golf.
I have contributed.
Had a guest last year who was an excellent rider, in the "fast" group all week. He got hurt doing a drop which is gnarly enough to be on my don't-be-daft-you've-got-to-stay-fit-all-summer list.
Filled out my accident report form and went to check his details on his booking form. Age 62!
He was supposed to be coming back for more this year, but got hurt again recently doing a learn-to-drop course (ironically while heading back to his car having nailed the drops!).
Well impressed, get well soon Tim!
Well amazing and i never thought I would see the day - but I have to congratulate 'TandemJeremy' on being an even bigger online bell end than 'GRF' - respect Sir
G.R.F. is someone's pet troll. Is there a clue in the initials?
Haven't had time to read this whole thread, but I will be 69 in November and I have no plans to quit riding as long as I can stay upright. As someone noted early in the thread, I'm nnot worried about being the fastes, a bit more careful, stop and rest more---but I sure don't plan to quit anytime soon.
I've never subscribed to the notion that there is some arbitrary age limit on anything.
I went to watch the Three Peaks CX this last year - at the bottom of Pen Y Ghent I helped a bloke to singlespeedhis bike after ripping the mech off. 'Thanks' he said 'you've just helped the second oldest bloke in the race- 73!'
Live to ride - ride to live - ride 'til you die
For the last five years I have decided not to go for rides of more than 100km. There is no point going overboard. I want to keep cycling for some time yet."
CHAPEAU sir, CHAPEAU
Wahoo!, got another 49 years at least then, hopefully
I aim to beat that.
I have a big headstart in you though al
Edit: Beaten to it above doh
I'm 44 this year, ride the Dark peak every week and taking my 6" AM Rig to Les Arcs this summer to have fun, age is just a number as long as you don't read MBUK you will be fine, what a disturbing publication!
Bol****s I'm 63 did a two hour plus night ride on Thursday off road.
Cheer up keep riding till you drop.
not sure whats been said in the rest of the thread but just so as you know my most regular non crying off hardcore reliable riding mate is 54 and in the last ten years he has shown no signs of slowing down. best of luck with it.
He claimed his 'secret' was none other than looking after himself. "I’ve never abused anything. I don’t smoke, I never drank much.
That's me f**ked then,never been a smoker but I does like a drink or two.....
What a load of bollocks! I'm 65 next month and am planning on a mountain bike holiday in Spain and one in France this year.This is apart from the weekends away riding all the trails I've 'missed out on'. AND I'm not retiring from my job. AND I've had two heart attacks. AND I've recently bought a Canyon full suss. Dont be a wuss and stop this rubbish talk about stopping riding, stop when you have to not when you think you should.
**** me backwards.
I'm just 52.
Have a full road race season planned.
Racing the FNSS, trying to get a top five in the Grand Vets.
Racing a full season of cross in the Central League.
Going to Flanders for the 259km event
London-Paris-London four day.
And a shit load of stuff in between. Might even do a 24 solo.
Current racing plans take me past 65.
66. Been doing stuff like the StrathPuffer 24 hour solo. This year was my PB - on a bike that weighs 42lbs.
So I think it's safe to say I don't subscribe to the getting too old thing. It simply gets a bit harder, thus you get an odd bargain with life - challenges crop up more often.
When I start using gears and suspension, you'll know I'm getting old and frail.
