'Stay hungry. Stay foolish'.
Cycling will help you with both of those.

A couple of years ago, we were celebrating the 50th birthday of a member of the club.
I am in my 40's and at that time I had been riding for about 3 years. I remember looking around the table and thinking, wow! everybody at this table is 50 or older and they all can kick my butt (riding).
There were 2 ladies (one of them a yoga instructor, the other one just a health nut) who looked awesome!
As somebody said above, cycling can be like a fountain of youth.

Cycling and rowing were the two best. The advantage required 1.5 hrs of exercise per week. Hell most of us here average that a day.

I'd tell you to bite me, but that would only leave me with another health condition that will baffle modern medicine.

There are several other senior riders that join in club rides from time to time that are really fun ot ride with. Great guys who can really scorch the pavement.

I turned 60last year and I have decided I am content for the moment with where I am.
I have become a reasonably good rider, I am reasonably strong, my endurance seemsto be better than ever and I am even getting on better with my wife (actually Ilove her dearly). Given all of that I have decided that I do not need a newversion next year, just an upgrade. Therefore I have resolved I will be 60.1this coming year as I just need a few updates not a new OS. We will see howthis goes but I am not anticipating the need for another system for some time -maybe ten years.
For the recordmy wife and children do not agree (all that laughing is annoying) but stubbornnessin the face of facts is a family trait so I will persist. Now let's see, whatwas I planning on doing next…?
