Help with 50 reminds me of a story about myself. A few years ago when I was 32, (3 decades ago), I was running a 5 mile stage in a marathon relay race. I was running at a good pace but was passed by an elderly gentleman who was grey haired and balding, hunched over and his socks didn't even match. At the time I felt insulted and tried to catch and pass him up. But no, I couldn't catch him for all I'm worth. At the time this really upset me.

Well, after I settled down, I realized how awesome this gentleman's performance was, being so fit at not just 50, but into his 60s. So I made a vow to myself that my conditioning, as I aged, would be like that man's.

Fast forward 3 decades and I am now 62. There are times (not usually) on my rides, when I gain on a rider or riders and pass them. Some of these gentlemen look to be in their 30s. So there you have it, I have become the fit guy who passed me up all those years ago.

Age 50, nothing to it. Just ride and forget your age. So there you go, young man.
