When I saw the title of the thread I was expecting to hear that someone, who had just started cycling, was planning a 50 mile ride in 4 weeks.

Your second 50 in 25 years. Feel better?

I left 50 behind five years ago. Freedom 55 in two months.

The world is trying to stay young and we have cyclist wanting to get in her early....... next we'll have 48 year olds in here....😂

As the saying goes.. you are as old as you feel.... it's only a number..

Welcome to the fun section.

And I thought it was someone bragging that they had ridden 50 miles over a 4 week period. To the OP, my son has you beat by 3 years!
