I just turned 29 and picked up cycling about two months ago now to help strengthen a rebuilt left knee to get me back on the soccer pitch for some light training during the indoor season. Now I've fallen in love with it but figured I was well past any reasonable age to consider competition, but CRAP! looking at the posts here I've got no reason to give 'er a shot, ditto for yourself regardless of age. If you like it, heck....GIV'ER! (of course I just came in from a ride and a pain gnome has settled into my lungs and is busy knashing his teeth into my chest....littls b@st@rd).
