Actually, is there anyone on here in their 60's that enters enduro/downhill/AM races?

I intend to be railing it as long as my knees allow me ๐Ÿ˜€

At that age I'm just hoping that I have control of my bowels.

If you haven't crippled yourself by then, no reason not to.

Reactions get slower, and bones break easier though...

I was the oldest in the Tweedlove EWS at 59 and I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon. I'm usually the slowest as well as the oldest, but it doesn't stop me enjoying it as much as anyone else!

At 43 I've just logged my highest ever power output at 840 watts. I reckon with 20 years more turbo sessions I'll be up with Cav, so yes.
