50+'ers can be very competitive at many activities. Try playing basketball with a group of them ... it can be vicious! The competitive fires stay lit for many. And why not? Most of us are competitive in one form or other. Certainly in the business world, 50 is when many break through to upper management.
Now when it comes to cycling, I don't have a competitive bone in my body. If an 85 yr old grandmother blows past me, I couldn't care less. I'm just out trying to enjoy the countryside and get some exercise. But I can understand why others do care
