I sent a copy of this thread to my doctor and asked his opinion. He said, "They're old."

I asked for a second opinion, and that doctor said "They're fat."

I just spent the weekend backpacking with a friend who is 89. In fact, at 55 I was one of the younger members of the group. There was some serious steep elevation gain (the North Cascades have high relief). Age is a state of mind. My friend doesn't look much over 70, and hikes like someone half his age. He's been doing it forever and just never quit. I think the same applies to cycling.
