I invited them to partake in this thread yesterday. They have a very informative forum over there.

I'm 55 and still going strong. So far this year I've done 4 centuries, 5 double centuries and 1 triple century. It looks like I should be around 8,000 miles for the year with a little over 250,000' of climbing.

I'm a mere 53. Took up riding a few years ago with the Trek hybrid (see sig), thinking I'd just putter around. Then I joined a bike club. Went on faster and longer rides. Put clipless pedals on the Trek. Finally got a road bike this year, did my first metric, and just built a fixed gear conversion I plan on riding a lot next year (and whenever the weather's not too vile this year). Looking forward to my first century next year.

Don't like riding in the cold, though.

Happy birthday!! :)
Im 40....grrrrrrrrrr

I'm 55 and will get at leat 7,500 miles this year, same as the last 3 seasons. My average over the last 25 seasons is 5,700 miles per year. I don't foresee slowing down anytime in the near future. :)

A fellow club member is 60 and just completed his 3rd Furnace Creek 508 with a time of 38 hours. That's 508 miles with 30some thousand feet of gain. He also took a run at the RAAM this year but stopped after 1300 miles in 5 days.
BF member Vertical Bob is close to his 4th (I think) consecutive year with a vertical century. That's an average of 10k feet of climbing per week. I think he's 59.

Happy Birthday! Sorry I'm a day late. I'm 54. I've just broken the 3000 mile mark. While that's actually a low number for most of the 50+ members, for me it's not. The best yearly total I've had until this year was 1309 miles. That was in '99. I'm having so much fun this year(I ride a Catrike Road) that I'm buying clothes to ride in cold weather. Heck, on my upright and EZ Sport, as soon as the temp fell below 60 I was done for the year. I'm looking forward to cold weather riding.

A triple century is worthy of a OUCH!! Congrats on that.

Well I turned 32 on the 2nd and didn't get to ride my age, but I didi manage to get in a 20 mile night ride on the fixie conversion I built for myself as a birthday present. Keep up the good work folks, you are an inpiration to us younger riders.
I hope to be as strong a rider as some of you are when I grow up.
