I Rode None of My Age Today.
On some subforums it is cool to ride as many miles as you are old on your birthday. I tried that the last two years.
Today, I got up late and decided to race my RC car. I got home after dark and decided to make up the mileage tomorrow. My legs needed another rest day.

So you are 32?
What is the cutoff? Not sure if my back will take a century tomorrow.

Ooh, Yesterday was my Birthday (17th)
I did 156. Did I do enough?
I love those team rides on your birthday.
"You want to sprint, eh??!"

Real age = 32
I can't seem to remember the cutoff. Maybe 50? However, I know quite a few 50 year olds who can ride centuries.

Hey Ed, don't feel bad. I started off with good intentions of riding my age on my birthday (the 29th May), but as I'd worked that night, and had packed in 60+ hours of work for the week, I decided to do the ride another day...
Happy birthday, though!

50 miles when you are 50 is hard for some- so imagine a few 70 year olds doing them aswell. Don't knock the oldies- not that you are- but don't try and stay with some of them either.

My birthday is June 3 as well. Last year I did about 36 miles, but this year I only did 30. That's because from now on I'm 30.

Happy Birthday Cosmoline.
I may adopt that theory as well.
