50 today
Ideal day today, off out on the road bike stopping to buy newspaper. Café stop in Wendover Woods for Coffee and Danish and a read. Sit and take in the air before heading off home.
That's all I want

It only came about because I've always been the oldest in the club, and forever going on about mudguards and frayed cable ends and anything else that sends me all Victor Meldrew.

Well it's not looking for yours kids stash.
It's when you enter a race that you'll almost win by default either by entering an easier class i.e claiming to be a novice when your not, or racing in the wrong age group.
I could now enter novice/50+ cyclocross races and do well, but I'd rather get my butt kicked by 18 and 23 year olds.Posted 2 years ago # -

Age is irrelevant. I was 54 last week, fitter than any time in my 40's and my bike skills have improved immeasurably over the last 3 years.

Old git congratulations on reaching 50,now when exactly do you start to get the urge to look in the window of Marks and Spencer,and just think that cardigan looks cool,and i wonder if they have slippers in my size.
I t seems to creep up slowly but soon becomes addictive ,like buying over priced food there as well,and trying to persuade everyone round you that it really is better quality.
When you approach 55 you start looking at carved walking sticks ,big boots and coordinated jackets,for you and your other half.

Once you reach 50 people do eventually stop asking you, what are going you to do with your life and to grow up, being immature keeps me young

Tell Ami or Jon it's your b-day today and that you've forgotten your OAP card and they might still give you the old-person's discount.
Maybe a fairy cake and a candle even!Posted 2 years ago # -
I'm approaching 55 (2 weeks) and haven't been looking at walking sticks. However, I do seem more drawn to Rohan clothes ..........
