Chronologically, I am 57, I feel like I am 25 and act like I am 12. I will never have to worry about entering a second childhood because I never really left the first.
My wife and I have three kids, 32, 30 and 18, a 5 year old Boxer named Clia and a 14 month old bike.
Oh, yeah, I forgot my 87 year old knees!

I'll bring the average up a little.
I am 61.7
During the summer I try to do a couple centuries a month.
In the Spring & Fall, just one century a month
In the winter, I am stuck on the wind-trainer.
I have done a few 200+ km rides this year as well.
You are never too old to cycle -- and if you are much younger than I am without too many disabilities, you should be able to do long distances too.

Cadillac and Trekrider: At 65, I have you both beat age-wise. Thus far, I have completed 2 centuries -- one in 1980 and the second in 2002. I hope to do another this year, but knee injuries and a carpal tunnel situation have kept my total mileage for 2003 down to only 700 miles since January 1. I had hoped to do 2,000 miles this year, but I don't think I'm gonna make it. I'm having a carpal tunnel operation on my right hand tomorrow. My darling 18 year old daughter will be driving me to Lexington at 5 a.m. During the operation, she will be worrying at the Lexington Mall. 
The surgeon operating on me successfully attached a severed hand on a guy last year, so I figure I am in good hands.

Don't knock 33, that is a good age, just finished it myself (on June 17). That was a good year for me, I rode more mileage, trimmed my midriff and got more power in those legs.

I'll be 35 August 18th. I just started riding again this year after not riding for 15 years....now I'm hooked big time...Plus I work out several times a week and know I'm in the best shape of my life! You're only as old as you feel and depending on your current health.

I am 66.5 years old. I will ride 6000+ miles this year (3,800 already) on my Litespeed Classic. I will be riding the Oregon Coastline in August. Hope to see you all on the bike somewhere. Mostly I feel 25. Resting pulse at 48.
