I was surprised to see this thread started by you @FBinNY, because from reading your posts I guess I thought you are younger than “old.”

Not to sound too somber, but even though I can answer the above questions, or I personally recall the above “good old days,”I’d like to think of this thread more as trivia and reminiscence rather than milestones about getting old.,
Given that I've alluded to my 50 year cycling career a few times here, I figure you can do the math.

As far as this thread goes, my original intent was to note those moments that remind us that we're not kids anymore, even though we act that way sometimes, but anything is OK as long as we keep it light hearted. One way I know how long I've been riding is when I ride major suburban arteries here and remember riding them as quiet two lane roads through the woods.
