I've started riding with some new friends lately and gained a new perspective for over 50. I turned 60 three months ago. I have been back on the bike now for about three years, mountain biking to begin with but mostly road bikes now. The group I ride with now, men and women, are from 5 to 15 years my senior. Even with my age "advantage" I find myself struggling to keep up most of the time. Even more humbling is listening to their talk of how they no longer are concerned with being fast but are just out for a fun ride. I feel like a youngster, learning from the older kids as they share the experience they have gained from years in the saddle. One day in particular, while riding in a group of eight or nine, it felt so much like a flashback to my ten year old summers, riding with no particular goal other than the joy of riding.
