after the age of 40, you can't call her your girlfriend - she's 'my partner' or 'the one who irons my pants'

And that makes you how old?

Is it just me that automatically thinks that when a man says "my partner" he is talking about a man?

Stop whinging you youngsters. When you get to my age you will know what grief is when wife finds your choice of hobbies unacceptable!
Sample comment on revelation I was buying a FS, 'won't people laugh?'

I feel old, just passing my 1/3rd of a century, hopefully another 1/2 left.

quite old, with no pants (just shorts to preserve marginal modesty)

I'll be 52 in May, but I don't feel old, its just that I can't go as fast as I could 10 years ago and I don't heal as quickly after a crash.

I'm 37 but feel 67 if that counts?

I remember on my 32nd birthday thinking that I must find some other form of recreation rather than the local jump spot. I found myself thinking exactly the same thing the other day, I'm 40 now...

Faster now at 48 than I was at 38 ! but then I only started mtbiking at 45. Oh how I wish I could turn back time.

Did my first race in Amersham in 1975 when bikes were steel, clothes were wool and it was all in black and white.Posted 3 years ago # -

Oi! I certainly do NOT! I wear these really neat 'pulling pants' under my shorts :o) Now I advise you to shut up or I'll be forced to post a photo...

Nice one fivespot, 44 myself and was wondering how long till i have to hang up my 5 10s! Perhaps all the hardcore oldschool oldies(50+) dont twot about on computers and instead are out on the hills.. maybe they die up there.. like sheep, in gullies..ah!

some of us are not quite dead yet

No Simon, they're not 'pulling' pants they're "pull up" pants.
They're what you need when you're getting up in years

Lovin' this thread

final warning, or the shorts come off...

Oh, and I don't bother ironing my thongs
Posted 3 years ago # -
Seriously, if you want to be old, you can be but what's the fun in that? Age is just a number ... and it meant I could buy a mid-life crisis bike

52 and a bit. Still as sprightly as ever, but taking the joint pills now to keep everything moving. I think this is my mtb decade, having been a serious rower and triathlete in earlier times. I am also a dead keen windsurfer, and when I get a bit more time on my hands intend to learn to surf properly. Lycra and no pants for me

i quite like being older and more sensible..
