Please tell us your age. 69, 70 in February, 2014.

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?

I ride a Diamondback Edgewood LX.

2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?

85mg aspirin and a multivitamin supplement. Prescription med for bp and cholesterol. Hoping to cut the prescription meds with continued exercise.

3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?

Quite a bit, although things are getting better. I was a two-pack-a-day smoker for forty-six years. When I first went in the military, you were looked at with a high degree of suspicion if you neither smoked nor drank. Because of the military, the only way I will run is if someone much larger and much meaner is chasing me!!

4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?

On and off since I was about seven or eight. Mostly off until a little over a year ago. Now I am trying to maintain 100 miles per week.


5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides.

Working up to long rides.

6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?

I do three thirty-mile rides per week (Mon, Wed, Fri) and either do a ten mile or two five mile rides on the other days. I've only been doing this around four weeks and I would like to get up to 6,000 miles per year minimum.
