Fifty Plus (50+) - Who is the oldest and youngest reader of the forum?

Inspired by:


Congrats, great ride.

I once thought that instead of riding *my* age on my birthday I would try to ride the age of the oldest member of this board.

Nope, bad idea....too much work while I'm "young," I'll build up to it!

Let's start with the teens and 90's. Anyone that young or old?

By the way, I got a phone call from a stranger today who wanted info on a Bernese Mountain Dog they rescued. I don't know why, but he said... "I assume you're in the 50+ group? We have an internet forum just for people in the 50+ group, if you want to join." I was actually startled for a moment, expecting that one of you had played a joke on me! But I guess not!

65 here. I'm not going to be close to either end - at least not for awhile.

Watch out- Your giving too many years away to the Grandchildren. Better get the trike sorted.

61 here so in the same boat.

Better get the trike sorted.

I'm not ready for a trike quite yet.

Sixty seven years old, but immature for my age. :)

Are we counting in Dog Years? :rolleyes:

65 this month.

I'm just a little over 8....in dog years!

OK, anyone in their 90's or teens can pop in later.

Let's continue on! Anyone in their 20's or 80's read the forum?

Sorry, I'm 105 and can't take the chance by delaying posting. Tried to ride my age last Saturday but only managed a Century.

Tail winds to everyone.

A truthful 54 going on 20 until I look in the mirror. A hat off to everyone here. Riding keeps us young!

Lemme find my baby Jebus avatar, then I can be the youngest! :D

Same here, fthomas! Mrs. Road Fan would say I'm approaching 20 backwards. But how'd this 34 years backwards go so fast?

I am as old as life on the Earth, for as it is stated on Wikipedia:

Tom Bombadil's origins in the cosmology of Middle-earth were left vague by Tolkien. He calls himself the "Oldest" and the "Master". He claims to remember "the first raindrop and the first acorn"

Unfortunately what I cannot remember is where I put last night's mail.

60 and 10 mos. "Real Age" quiz puts me at 49.7 years.

I love that Real Age test. 65 actual years for me with 56.9 from the quiz:)

68 .. that puts me in the lead at the moment. Not sure I like the lead in this race though.

Lots of us here are 65, it seems. What is the Real Age test? Someone clue me in...I must have forgotten.:o

Another for the 65 gang

It's a lifestyle quiz. If you smoke and have unprotected sex it will tell you that you already died.

Sex...I seem to have some vague memory of that word.

We have a tandem rider from Arizona who frequents this forum, who is 75 or 76. Sorry I can't remember the login.

I'm in the middle with 56 years behind me...when I worked in the mission in Venezuela there was a saying: Let's move forward, behind us is too scary.
Be patient all, the young ones will be posting soon, that is my prediction.

Another 65, here.

You really need to ban some of us in order to get some age balance on this Forum!

50.6 here just getting started

I'll help epcolt bring the average down I'm 52

50.6 here just getting started

drat for a second there I thought I could be youngest at something, even if it was being the youngest old guy... 51.2

50y 10.7m

48 years and 10 months

58 which is mediocre in this forum but made me the oldest in the Intro to Psych course I just finished in the School for Adult Learning division of a local college. (Beginning a 3-yr RN-to-Bachelor degree in Nursing program. First time in an actual college classroom since 1970.)

Exactly how many 20's or teens are you expecting to be reading this 50+ thread?

Go to www.realage.com. You'll see the quiz there. It's fun. Don't know if it's really accurate, but I think it is enough to get you thinking about some lifestyle changes. It made me decide to get a new family.

OK, according to the last poll, we had 8 people 70 and over. Who is over 70? Speak up!

We also had 25 "lurkers" and posters under 50. Please speak up if you're under 45.

Here's the last poll we did.

Robert Gardner is 86, but he usually posts in mechanics. He was there in Nov, but hasn't posted in 50+ for a year, so I don't know if he wins.

He sounds pretty cool. He rides about 2000 miles a year and only has one leg!

I'm catching you at 67.....

Is that 68, too, then?

DnvrFox is 68, too. We'll let this sit for a while and see if any 69-85 year olds show up. If not, then we'll hash it out among the 68 year olds!

How are we doing with the younger than 45s? You have 24 hours to make yourself known. Let's make it all under 50 people. I'm 47, but I know there are younger here than I. How old is The Historian?

However,

Zonatandem, who rides tandem with his wife, from Arizona, is December 31st, 1932, or 75.

OOOO, Good! Thanks, DnvrFox.

That's the rider I was thinking of, too. Does some pretty impressive rides, and I also think he has mentioned volunteering as a worker on group rides in his area. He was also the rider who originally made me think I was a wimp for riding my age on my birthday....I was thinking, why don't I ride *his* age?

p.s. my real age is 51.5...I took the 'real age' test mentioned above last night and it said I was 40. I think I recall taking it a few years ago, before I changed my eating habits and lost a lot of weight, and it was much more depressing at the time.

I read this forum occasionally, I am 44.

Welcome fellow Mountaineer!

And we got a young'n in the lead!

73. (May 29, 1934) Ride about every day year round.

That date is December 7, 1941 or 66 years, except in speedskating I'm only 65 (they count from the last July 1st.).

50 & 11/12ths.

I'm three weeks shy of 56. Seems like only yesterday I was three weeks and one day shy of 56. I guess that makes me almost 8 in dog years. But I can still get off the porch and run in the high weeds with the big dogs. Well, most days anyway!

tzracer, 44 and Zonatandem, 75 are our winners for youngest and oldest. So if you want to ride someone else's age, there's a couple for you.
