The 50+ is just a different group of folks, discussing many of the same topics on other Forums, but with more geezer health questions. Higher percentage of women would be my guess. Also a more civilized group, it's hard to get slammed here. Only just more than a handfull of competitive members, but lots of us push to the limits at times and the significant accomplishments you'll read about are genuine and heartfelt - never to massage an ego but to share a joy. Oh yeah, threads about grandkids. Take what suits you and visit regularly, over time (if you keep cycling) you'll become a contributor.
