Welcome to 50+! Remember that Middle Adulthood lasts through age 65 - you have 15 years to go until you are Old.
Should I ask how much your Kestrel weighs? I probably don't wanna know, as my recumbent singles each weigh about thirty pounds.

I guess that means we have to let another kid into our forum. 
Congrats -- get out and do your obligatory birthday ride, now that you have a "no excuses" bike.
