I'm old enough to be in here now
But I'm in denial.

Welcome to you both, I guess I should you are old enough to know better, but that one is pretty obviously being ignored by all of us here in the 50+ asylum. Walter, its shame that a good moderator is going bad now, its all down hill from here on in....

So this is where the cool ones hang out? As of Aug 10, I have joined the nifty fifty club. Its been a tough riding season, (a fall and a slightly torn hamstring) but the "new" old Masi I recently picked up makes up for it!

Happy Birthday to ALL you whippersnappers!!!! 
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE don't be one of those, I am "50 years YOUNG" type of people. Embrace your age and wisdom and it will serve you remarkably well.
I rode my 200 miler at 60 years old, my first half marathon at 61 years old, my first marathon at 61.5 years old, my first triathlon at 62 years old and my first Ironman at almost 63.5 years old.
Now doesn't that years old sound more meaningful?
May the Force be with you on all your bike rides!!!!!!

Just wait till you start getting lotsa lotsa letters in the mail reminding you that you are very very close to being Medicare-eligible and wanting you to consider their fine Medicare-related insurance product.
Thank you Mr. Postman!

Ever since I stumbled onto Bike Forums, I've age qualified to be here, but I didn't feel my age. I didn't start to realize I'm getting up there until I age qualified for "Senior Coffee" at McDonalds.
