We already have a group that includes another 61 year old, 65yr old, 72 yr old & 73 yr old ..all still out there kicking ass..the rest of the bairns are in there 50's..
Welcome to join us any time ..
Only 50 here (51 next month), though I did take my dad for a ride on some single track last summer to celebrate his 80th. He loved it 🙂
A young whippersnapper here at a mere 58 going on 59 - just remove the first digits to get the appropriate mental age 😀
Same as Whitestone, whippersnapper.
53 and feel every day of it at the moment. Mind willing but body becoming weak. depressing but you cant give in....

Hugh Hefner was 91, his wife was 31... 😯
63 - gave up MTB-ing (mainly singletracking) a few years ago & doing about 200mi a week on the road. Just shy of 9000mi last year. Working on keeping up with the young (er) ones......
They were talking about Shane McGowan on the today programme and he's apparently 60. Still got all his own teeth. I say "his" - he paid for them so they're his. I was at uni with one of the other Pogues.
63 here and still as keen as ever to ride mountain bikes, off out today in the cold and wind. The past year has seen age begin to catch up with me, but that only seems to fire my enthusiasm to milk every last moment for fun
Dickyboy ..not bad but ..
60 with a 43yr old missus we have been together since I was 42 ( and she was 25)...
A 26 year old daughter from a previous & 14 year old son give me grey hairs ..but also keep me young ..

You are just getting started mate ...
with 5 kids between the ages of 16 and 29, I'd like to think we are well and truly done thanks - first grandchild on the way too yeh!
So all mostly around 60 plus, and no longer riding bikes for a lot of you, just talking about memories of bike rides.
55 fat daft and still on the bike
48, but my girlfriends 26.
"Back of the net".
I was 53 yesterday and judging by the number of care home and funeral feeds I get on my FB feeds, nudging my way feet-first to a hole in the ground! I'm off to do a 66km ultra in the arctic next month - and amongst one of this year's objectives is to do a sub-3hr marathon, provided I can stay injury-free.
Project ..cheeky git !
Memories ?..still making them off-road twice a week 8)
Dickyboy ..respect !
No grandkids for me yet ..hoping I live long enough 😀

Correct with the first part. Way, way off with the second and third parts. 😉
63, riding a ebike now, road based Trek Super Commuter, about 70 miles a week at the moment.
Still thinking about getting back out on the trails as I miss it so much.
Would have to be fire roads now though, body can't take the pounding anymore.
Nearly had the full-on cure for aging this morning.
A stupid bitch coming round an open corner on my side of of the road (fully over the white line). She had the low sun full in her face and had her eyes screwed 90% shut to avoid being blinded.
I had to ride into a ditch to avoid being ****ted.
She carried blindly on.
I sat there in the muddy water shaking for ten minutes.
Only 49. Didn't realize that you lot were so old.

don't talk boollox man
back to riding everyday 6 week after a hip replacement.
no surrender............. 😆
Unfortunately missing a few teeth and a sandwich short of a picnic
Yeah we knew about the sandwich TJ. I reckon you could come on an over 60's ride though cos your famous!
Where's that pic taken Pennine?
I think I recognise the bit in the background.
Anywhere near Clowbridge res by any chance?
Ta.
Pete, 48 not out.

Baildon Moor West Yorkshire (north of Bradford)
I know exactly where you're thinking of Pete. It does look like the trail over the back of Clowbridge
47, and feeling every day of it. I think my knees are 87
63 and still have the body of a god, trouble is it's Buddha
I've got a bad cold, can only hear out of one ear, and really want to be home in bed - so I think I'm about 93.
Blimey it smells of wee in here....
From the right side of 40 😉
😆
My MTB is gathering dust too - I only ride BMX now 😈 Been 15 for the past 45 years 😛
64 today, enjoying my Birthday in the warmth of Portugal.
47. Still attempting big winter climbing days, off to thrash the bike in Himalaya this year. Use it or loose it.
@penine chapeau 🙂
i started riding my orange when i was 27 cant be more than three years ago.. although the kids are 15 and i certainly didnt have them when i started nor did i have 18 stone to lump around or hang on..its 28 years ago since i was 27.. exactly to the day HB2 to me!!
63 in March, in training for Jennride, mightily impressed by anyone doing the Strathpuffer this weekend especially if over 60 and double for over 70.
47 and a quarter.

CountZero and Hodgynd are well old aren’t they?
i’m a splrightly 54 in just a few weeks
Cheeky git! 😀
64 this year, g/f is 52. Haven’t ridden for a few years, a low-speed off has resulted in osteoarthritis in two places in my left knee, so I’ve lost my confidence because I don’t know why the bike went out out from under me, both wheels went sideways and I hit my knee, face and head.
Still got the bikes, though, so maybe I can find some knee armour that doesn’t press and cause discomfort and ride again.
Hey ..missed that from DezB ..you are right cheeky bugger.. on the attack before I had even posted .. 😆
There's an old saying that you are only as old as (the woman ) you feel ..which makes me 10 years younger than you mate 😉 😀

A bit worrying seeing how some on here say they feel..... 😯
