Well, the age that seems young to me now :p
Although I commute year round, I'm woefully behind preparing for the Seagull Century over Columbus day weekend. I put in 39 miles on the way home yesterday and hit the sack at 8:15pm for a 10 hour sleep. I was planning for another 30 - 45 miles tomorrow morning - but - I'll have to get up early :mad:

At least I found out that lighter, ergo shaped saddle is no replacement for a Brooks.

We may allow you to hang around our forum, but age references under 50 don't go around here, mister!:D

Hang in there and keep pedaling, Fall is the best cycling season.

And 39 becomes 50 pretty darn fast, so those ride your age days get harder and harder.

I turned 39 (hexadecimal) last month.

Oh, and I thought it was Jack Benny doing a ride.

If we're talking hexadecimal I'm a fine (and legal forum aged) 32. The 39 mile post was wishful thinking - though I probably weigh less now than at 39 due to cycling.
