So, here is my first contribution.
Some questions:
Please tell us your age.
1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides, commute, tour, race?
6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
7. Do you do any other type of physical activities - weight lifting, skiing, running, etc.?
Perhaps you might indicate your age on your reply??
Also, please see a list of all the contributors:
1. MASI GRAN CRITERIUM S
2. None
3. Probably 2-3 mph since age 50 mostly due to a 7 yr. layoff from cycling and 15 lbs I can't lose.
4. Started in my late 30's then stopped around age 51. Started again at age 58.
5. I do mostly 25-50 mi. rides in my area during the week and want to get back to centuries this year.
6. I bike 4-5 x week and last year did about 3K mi.
7. Lift at the gym 3 x week and take spinning in the winter 2-3 x week.
