The gentleman who convinced me and two other freshly-minted UCLA graduates to ride the Los Angeles Wheelmen double century was 50 at the time. He had gotten himself back into shape after years of smoking and inactivity. Enroute, we encountered a 76-years-young Angelino who proudly wore the patches from 11 previous double centuries.
Sister Madonna Buder, whom one could call the "flying nun," still completes several triathlons per year, at age 70+.
Mike R's comments about being 100 reminded me of George Burns, who often said in his later years, "I'm really glad to be here. Actually, at my age, I'm glad to be ANYWHERE."
