I’ve just turned 60 and ride like the biggest nancy of all time but don’t care (much). Had a few big offs in last few years, mainly bad luck…. but we all get lucky/have near misses as well, so occasionally it’s gonna go wrong.
I’ve come to terms with enjoying ‘my riding’ which is tamer than all my riding mates, but I still get a buzz and I’m pretty fit for an old un 😀
I still want to enjoy ‘my’ riding for a few years yet, so if in doubt I get off and walk – and take the stick that comes my way.
