Happy birthday oldgit. Sounds like an ace birthday treat. 😀

sorry forget the congrats !
and think i know what you mean just having a nice relaxed time its cool

also i should be old enough and wise enough to remember not to use the "@rse" word when sfb is about 😉

this was my 50th birthday ride – I was as old as the 2 on the right together 🙂

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 😳

Have I been posting on here for the last decade?
Did my first 24 ten years ago, so this must have been up and running surely.

Yep it's not working.

HAPPY BUFFDAY!!!

No it's dead no readings nada. Do I have a fiddle or take it back?

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.

or copping a feel 🙂

Happy Birthday Carl, now you are almost an old git 🙂

or copping a feel

Yeah right 🙄

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.

Yeah right

you know you love it :o)

Hugging fit young men – what's not to like 😉

Happy Birthday Carl.

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.

My landlord must be mid 50's and he can rip the legs off all my friends on the road. Im 19 btw 😛 I aspire to be like you guys and still riding when Im ancient. 😉

Happy birthday! It's all in the mind (and the tight legs and aches and panis after a ride!) I reckon (52 now)…

liking this thread. got bored of life a couple of years ago, made some changes, now kicking its arse back at 37, not old i know, but it's all good for the taking at any age. Good on ya! Bikes are great 🙂

Happy Birthday Oldgit!

Carpe diem
