That was probably the last time I'll get a chilled ride until Christmas.
Part 2 of a relaxing weekend on Saturday with a massive walk with the dog, might take the mini-trangia.
Setting my max heart rate Sunday with the new HRM though I seem to have just broken it

Happy Birthday oldgit!!!! You have many miles ahead. I started mountain biking at 50 and still going strong at 67 (3-4 days a week)---of course if I stop I may not be able to start again. Seriously though, the only differences I can see are: 1. I have a lot better understanding what really isn't rideable and the sense to follow that instinct, and 2. Stamina and recovery suffers a bit with each passing year.

Fifty is nothing to be frightened of, just embrace it
she means she wants a hug
I get loads of hugs on group rides
but they could of course be feeling sorry for me/indulging me.Posted 2 years ago # -

Happy Birthday oldgit.
Today I got a letter from the local G.P. surgery. It contained an osteoporosis risk assessment questionaire for the 45 and plus age group.
One of the questions was - Do you fall freqently (more than once in the last year) or do you have a fear of falling because you are frail? I nearly fell of my invalid chair laughing. The answer was of course, yes, 'cos I fall off my mtb at least 5-7 times a year.
Power to the oldies of STW.

You've cheered me up busydog. I was beginning to wonder on my birthday, last week how long I can keep it up! So at 61 I seem to have a few good riding years left in me. Mind you I am the least fit of my riding group who are all round the same age,2 do Triathlons including Iron Man, one is a good fell runner and the other is a damn good swimmer. Still I think we are in a minority, most people I meet at work don't seem to do anything very energetic.
