50 is the new 30.
Lard arse younguns prefer to use a car and don't see the point in riding push bikes, or doing any other form of useful exercise.
Age is no issue. Itmight have been for our parent's generation, but ours (the forty to fifty somethings) is much more active.
I skied with a 78 year old a couple of years ago, a retired surgeon. His wife, a lawyer, wasn't much younger and they were both very fit and agile.
We were being guided on a ski tour operator's excursion and we were the in the advanced set. It was full on fast skiing all day and the old guy went like a bat out of hell. We could hardly keep up!
At lunch I learned that this couple also liked to sail, picturing them in some comfortable cruising yacht, but no, not them! They were into racing Lazers off the South coast. They said they hand launched and recovered too.
I hope i'm like that when i'm their age!
