I’m all for act your shoe size not your age

At 69, I'm all for that attitude. It's just that occasionally, parts below the neck have to remind the part above the neck that I'm not twenty anymore - !

At seventy I still chase pretty lasses, I just can't remember why.

Our club has an 87 year old who marshalls at our confined TTs. He told me he is going to ride at least one of them this year. He rode one last year.

I do a ride called the Tri-vet. Run every 3 years, Its an organised 100 mile ride for those over 50. This year will be my third ride and I'm still one of the youngest doing it. There's riders in their 80's who have no problem doing the distance.

I have just retired at the age of 60. I am planning to buy a good bike which will perhaps be my last purchase!
