Seems like we are far to concerned with "numbers"
62 gotta retire
65 Gotta slo down cause I'm gettin old
70 its all over so get the white shoes , white pants, bridge deck and now I'm OLD
80 forget every thing, its the end
I'm 60 plus and my cardiologist told me this old bod has the characteristics and resilience of a man 15 years younger...........so Voila........I now consider myself 45
and am acting accordingly. Did 10 weeks on my bike last year in Europe. climbed a mountain, (well it was only 11K feet), but am scheduled to go to Africa in September to climb Kilimanjaro, and in January to Argentina to do Aconcauga
I was up at 5AM this AM rode to Key Biscayne
A pox on all those who quit cause someone sez they have to "act their age"
BRAVO to those many on here who give reason to read these forums and give delight from reading their exploits
My grandmother rode horses and drove carriages into her eigthies, my mother did the same till she slipped on some ice broke a hip bone and the doctor told her no more rideing on but riding in was fine
