How about riding the age that I act? Shouldn't take very much time at all.

I don't mind riding my age, but I do mind acting my age.

It is easier to ride your age on the bike than it is to act your age on the internet.

I rode my age plus ten today 64.52 miles, much easier to ride it than act it.

When riding a bike, you are allowed to act the average age of you and your bike. In some occasions, you are allowed to act the age of either yourself or your bike.

I used to act my age but I outgrew it.

How about versus feeling your age?

"Feeling" as in:

1. Feeling like a nap after a long, hot ride, or

2. Feeling youthful, taking on new adventures, ideas, interests; refusing to conform to expectations for being inflexible, resistant, sedentary, etc.

Wait, I only did 34 miles today. I think that must mean, yes, it must mean that inside I am indeed only 34!
Next weekend I'm doing 102 on Saturday. I hope that doesn't mean what I fear it means.

Curtis obviously has a mental age of 34.

And when you do your 102, if you have a triple and do 34 on each chain ring, then you still get to be 34.

I'm 67. I could probably ride my age but then I wouldn't be acting my age.

I did 22 today, and that's how I feel on most days. Hmmm.... maybe I should just keep it at 22 for all my rides.

Oh we may "act" our age-- being somewhat forgetful, holding reading matter a little farther out, pharting more frequently and with less restraint and more amusement, etc.........but it's just an "act". Inside, we're throbbing with life and youth and explosive power. Rarrfff.
