Fifty Plus (50+) - 52

Hello 50+ers. I'm right there with you. Not as fast or strong as I used to be, but I enjoy cycling as much as I ever did, probably moreso because I don't feel compelled to ride fast if I don't feel like it.

I got into cycling in the early 70s, during the bike boom. Still ride my vintage steel I had as a kid, a '72 Mercian. I don't do as many group rides as I used to, and most of my miles are now commuting by bike.

I look forward to learning from my fellow baby boomers here.

Welcome young man. :thumb:
Now, lets talk about N+1. :)

Better put me on your ignore list, because I predate the baby boomers by many years, as do others. :)

Anyway, welcome.

Welcome to the group.

Most of my kids are baby boomers but not me:)

I'm very sorry about the baby boomer referrence. Pre-baby boom riders gave me my start in cycling central Ohio--Charlie Pace, Dick Sebodee, and JoAnn and Ashley Molk. Ashley and JoAnn, in particular, took me under their wings.

I'm also a big fan of Chuck Harris, who makes the best recycled material bike mirrors in the world.

No need to be sorry. The really important questions are:

1. Do you like pie, and if so, what flavor, and;

2. Have you had your colonoscopy?

1. Rhubarb, apple, butterscotch, sugar cream, and key lime

2. Yes, and probably due for another.

A person after my own heart. Welcome.

Not to sound judgemental, but there is a reason that you have to put 20lbs of sugar in a rhubarb pie!:eek:


:D

1. Rhubarb

That's disgusting, although my wife recently made a tasty rhubarb/strawberry pie (with fantastic crust) that's didn't taste like it had the despicable rhubarb in it.

Hmmm!!

No blueberry!!

Are you sure you are a 50+'r?

Couple of things: I’m right there with you at 51, although my 70’s bike was a Schwinn Continental, how in the heck did you end up with a Mercian as your first bike? The other thing is, why do these threads always seem to end up as pie contests. I don’t like sweets, except for apple and cherry pies, and of course, peach cobbler.
