Hey,
Gotta agree. I'll be 58 this year and am still racing - ACA and USCF. Last year I did about 25 races including a 66 miler in the mountains. That one was part of a three event stage race. Did ok. Yeah, aches and pains, but suck it up and enjoy the ride. We have a guy around here who is about 65 or 90 or something like that and he manages time in TT's that would be top 10 in pro 1-2.
If you start doing old people stuff, you'll BE old.
Bikes: Trek 950 frame with Suntour Superbe Pro (100k + miles)
Masi 3V with Campy and Mavic components 75k+ miles)
1986 Stumpjumper (nice leather saddle with springs - don't need no stinkin shocks!)
Schwinn Letour - about 1990 to take toursw on when I quit racing.
All have Brooks saddles and 6 - speed regina fw's - you guy remember those?
Seven Odonata - all dura ace 7800 (new) - Retired the Masi from racing after 2004 season
