Age related.

Age does slow you down as I have noticed when I checked my records on Sunday. When I restarted cycling after a 30+ year gap, in 2011, I could average 14mph, now, my best is 12.5mph. I was 61 in 2011 but to be fair, it doesn't worry me as I enjoy my rides. I just wanted to make an observation.

There are 80 year olds doing sub 60 minute 25.

61 is the new 40 and growing older is compulsory growing up is not.

Getting old is better than the alternative

Good on you I say, just keep enjoying it.

I'm only 53 so I'll just be happy to make it to 61!!

Guess that makes me 40 then

I'm 51 this year.
My husband asked me recently when I was going to give up riding the MTB.
I told him just for even asking me that question, I was going to save up for another

I will always feel young!

As I get older I forget about speed. Best thing I enjoy about cycling is the chats with mates, great scenery, coffee and cakes!

 

[roadrash]

Bigger, fitter, faster, stronger than any youngster.


























PS I may have fibbed about being faster.

You're in your mid 50's

Who cares what age you are as long as you enjoy what you're doing.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Ah, to be 40 again!
Had I started cycling then ... surely now I would average 8mph ....
