Hey, I really like this idea. Having a birthday in Dec. sucks because I hate the cold. I guess I could move to Australia when I'm older. I'll be 39 this year so I'd have to ride 61 miles but at least once I hit 50 yrs. old it would be all down hill.

Yeah, mine is in January in NY, so I will use my wife's in September I think.

Happy Birthday! I've been doing a "twice my age" ride on or around my b-day in June since I was 40. This year was 108 miles. I'll do 110 next year, then change my multiplier to 1.5x. I get bored after about 90 miles. Glad my b-day's in June.

New comittment is to ride my age on my birthday every year so today was 50 miles (actually ended up 51)

Goal is a Century at 100, without missing a year from here out.

50 + 50 = 100.... isn't than an old fogey's century? ;)

Happy Birthday! The good news is that people will be totally jealous even if you wuss out and settle for a Fred Century on your 100th.

I want to do 100 km when I'm 62.137 years old. That's 50 days after my 62nd birthday. (100km=62.137 miles) That won't be for some years, though.
