Fifty Plus (50+) - What a great forum!

Just like to say that i really enjoy this forum and its approach to bicycling. It seems that with any hobby these days people will take it to the extreme and if you don't know everything and have the latest greatest equipment you "aint" in. It seems that this forum has a much more lighthearted but serious enough focus as not to be boring but definitely not over the top. Thankyou to all the posters in the 50+ forum for the much more laid back atmosphere. Btw i'm 37 and on my 3rd rum and coke so what do i know.
Peace

Welcome to BF. Be cool and keep the rubber side down.

Yes, goodhearted folk here.

However, most of us had more than 3 rum and cokes by the age of 37. Do you think you'll fit in?

Welcome!

Welcome to the lite side, the light side of biking... seems like there is a lot of younger ones that like our older style. Although I don't consider it older...just more realistic. Keep up the good work.

We are old enough not to take ourselves too seriously. :)

You have to grow old, but you never have to grow up.

Vodka grapefruit, not the sweet pink stuff.

Aye thanks for the tips. Keep up the good work, i really enjoy the humor in this forum. I have to send out a thought request for a downed cyclist in memphis,tn over the weekend. Hit by an auto but last i heard was recovering.Be careful out there.

Welcome! Just stay out of the Politics and Religion forum and you'll keep your sanity. Or simply up it to 5 or 6 rum and cokes and wade right in. :lol:

Welcome reb450, glad you found us. I've drank my share of rum and coke...but these days it's been bourbon and coke or bourbon and soda.

Yeah yeah, welcome. :thumb: Sorry though, haven't had a drink since 11/21/91...best thing I ever did. :D Come to think of it I was about your age. :eek:

Why do these youngsters keep telling us how old they are? If they would just lie and make themselves 50+ they wouldn't have to ask permission to post! :)

Anyone who mixes good liquor with coke is too young to post here. If you must add anything, water, preferably frozen water.

Hmmmm . . .

68-37 = 31

YIKES!!

I'm not only old enough to be this guys father, biologically, I could be his GRANDFATHER!

Where IS that 65+ Forum?

This is scary.

And I don't even drink rum and cokes.

Gotta go for a ride and swim to recover.

Bye!

We are talking about rum here right? :roflmao2:

Good point. I was overlooking this when we were only talking about rum. But then someone mentioned bourbon and coke and I couldn't hold my tongue in the presence of such blasphemy.:notamused:

BD: Even ice in good bourbon is blasphemy. :D

True dat.

+1. If they'd wanted it mixed with something they'd have done it at the distillery.

Welcome Reb450.

OK, I did a 20 mile ride, had breakfast, then a 10 lap swim, and I am slowly recovering from this young'un invading the 50+ forum!

Welcome! Glad you like us. :)

Go do it again. You may be over it by then. :D

Any spirit worth drinking is worth drinking neat, from a glass, like God intended.

Welcome! Glad you like us. :)

Hahaha...maybe you're jumping the gun there with that assumption. We'll just say welcome and the "liking us" part will come in due time. :lol:

Notice how this thread is rambling all over the place? True 50+ behavior. Reb450, are you sure you want to play with us?

Steve - initially I would get myself well soused before tackling this forum - my elixir of choice was gin & tonic, gave up bourbon & coke when I was your age. There is no such thing as a good gin, just ones that mix better with tonic (I prefer Bombay blue but generally drink the cheapest thing I can get my hands on). So - get yourself liqoured up and come back, eventually you will find that we are just plain fun.

If you come back and ask - I will tell you my favorite Virginia Gentleman & coke story...

:lol:Who said anything about GOOD liquor? I'm talking Evan Williams here!:twitchy::roflmao2:

Hey reb I just joined this week too, I think I've found the greatest forum ever!!

I don't drink rum and coke, whiskey and coke, or anything + anything, I now only drink wine, hope I will still fit in here!

You guys all make me laugh! :)

Grow up, Louis. Any liquor cheap enough to mix with Coke a Cola is too cheap for you to be drinking. Get yourself a bottle of George Dickel and have a good sip.:)

I used to drink George Dickel, it was good stuff. Maybe next time I'll splurge and pick up a bottle. :thumb:

Grapefruit juice and vodka is great stuff works great for back pain. Although after a few i got to feeling lonely and i've come to the conclusion that Dnvrfox may be my biological daddy.:love:

Are you slightly saying there are other options aside from a "grayhound?" I think not.

Good lord and good heavens, a youngster joins and we all go off topic into libations.

Maybe time for a sticky about stickies?

Now, about Jagermeister...

Jager/Bud chaser, everytime, then to the hard stuff.

When I used to drink, I drank cheap whiskey. Since I no longer drink, I can afford to not drink Chivas Regal and Napoleon brandy! I also don't smoke the finest Cuban cigars!
