My Birthday 5/18
Turning 53 tomorrow. Not riding at all. Family coming over. Husband took me out to our favorite sushi bar last night. Went to Pt. Reyes Station with my sisters today. Start my new job on Monday. Life is good.

Doesn't sound like life is slowing down for you at 53.
Hope you have a great birthday!

Thanks Tru. I already received a card from a friend who insisted I eat one of everything off the dessert tray. So, in that spirit, enjoy every bike of a big piece of cake tomorrow. I think it's perfect that you start your new job the next day..... beginning a new life as you begin a new year.

Happy birthday TruF.
My birthday was the 13th so I went out and pedaled 60 miles today, a gorgeous day in CenTx...wildflowers galore and everything green.

Congrats! Does this mean you'll be starting your own "53-year-old" section of BikeForums? There seem to be a lot of age-specific "clubs" starting up, none of which I can join...

Thanks, everyone! It was a great day. Lots of food, wine, and conversation. And the weather finally cooled down.
