Allowing for the possibility of requiring a spinner (tough to see potholes), I think/hope you win the bet.
My grandfather did a head stand every year on his birthday until he was 90. He lived to 93. One of my great aunts lived to 101. I think she was a down hiller.

I started doing 2x my age a couple of years ago, but I really don't like 100+ mile rides. I'd rather do a ride like today - 51 miles, 3500 ft. climbing, 18 mph avg. With a lot of waiting around at tops of hills for younger guys.
