Welcome old farts! (kidding Denver!).

If you find any threads that would be better placed in this forum, please let me know by clicking on the "[Report]" link in the thread that should be moved.

Enjoy.

Thanks Joe

My Thanks Also!

Looks like my kinda place. ;)

Great to have our own "spot" in the forum. We can certainly get a lot of encouragement from each. I would love to know how many 50 + are really out there.

You mean on the forum or just "out there?"

We had 100 self-identify, but I know there are lots more - I know several that did not self-identify, for whatever reason.

We also have one person, not yet 30, who likes to pretend that he is 50!

Talk about weird! If I was 30, I would not want to be 50!

Welcome old farts! (kidding Denver!).



There is a riding group of folks in their 70's in Denver who call themselves the "Old Parts" :D

Joe, thank you!

Checking in thanks
Joe

I am in the age group as well.
Bob

I'm in.

This is a great idea....thank you!

I may be in, but i come kicking and screaming.

I'm counting down to my 50th birthday in a few months, but I cetainly have more in common with these folks than with the twenty- and thirty-somethings I usually run into around the cycling world. As for "kicking & screaming", not me; I earned every line on my face and every grey hair, and (except for the ones that came from either sheer terror or cosmic stupidity) I had a lot of fun doing it!

I am in, I wish I was twenty again, I will just enjoy life and ride my bike

I'll let DnvrFox sleep a little easier tonite. I didn't "Self Identify" the first go around but I'm here now!

I'm snoring as I read your post!

A forum for old people? I thought we already had one, Classic & Vintage. http://smile.smilies.nl/368.gif

I am in with 9 extra years to spare. I can farm or give them to anyone who is a little short in the age catagory.
This should be a good and well visited forum.

Consider me in.

Thanks DnvrFox! and thanks Joe for opening it.

I just got my first road bike for my 50th birthday. Unfortunately I still think I'm in my 20s (but my body knows better). As a Noobie, I look forward to the commentary in the 50+ forum to enhance the information I read elsewhere.

Sneaks by the bouncer with a fake ID which has the birthdate off by two years.



You old geezers won't mind if a 48 year old kid lurks in the lounge , eh/?

Count (at 64) me in too.

Well, I don't feel old, and I am not sure what a "geezer" is, (Dictionary.com says "especially an eccentric old man") and I definitely am not eccentric, but yes, please join us! :D

Only 45 1/2......but I feel at least 60 every morning when I get out of bed. Does that count? :o

And I am almost 65 and feel about 45 1/2 when I get up. I will trade with you!

Please join us, if you like!

I'm eccentric, but not OLD.

18 months to go... just did a hard restart on the career, added cycling last month,
up to 300 mi so far...15 to 20 mi a pop, 3-5 days a week!

Gimme some LUV!!!

Turned 51 this summer. My entire body frequently reminds me I'm over 50. Good thing that cycling helps it feel better !!

Just look at who the OP was- Joe used to have some good ideas but I wonder if this was one of his better ones.:innocent:

Thanks Joe.

Hmpph!

It was NOT Joe's idea. :p

But, that was the first official thread in the hard-fought-for 50+ forum.

Should have said that he had the good idea to support the 50+ forum.

I've always enjoyed Dnvr's responses to Geezer, Old Farts, etc. Keep 'em coming Dnvr!!

I like "old" threads. You need only to look at my closet!
