My B'day is a month later which also challenges the 'ride your age on yer B'day' idea but our Boxing Day rides do help. I'm 64 now and rode my first full century (106 miles) last year and have done metric centuries w/o issue. I now do 50+ mile rides with little to no planning or prep, on 40 yr old bicycles. Neato. Good for my heart. And I never really was an athlete sorta guy - skinny nerdy engineer.
