If we ride enough do we lose eligibility for this forum?

For all those new 50+ cyclists: You don't just feel younger, you really are. Okay, maybe, kind of, sort of. I think over-reaching is justified in a good cause.
I would think the macro level health improvement would be much more noticeable!

But yeah, your "biological" age will improve markedly by taking care of yourself.

I'm much younger, than I was 5 years ago. I'm not sure if I should post here as I'm 47 and a half. I find many of your threads interesting. You guys show me that I can continue to improve for a very long time!
