Excellent - it almost makes you look forward to old age!

And we some times grouse about going out in the cold and wet! These guys are a true inspiration and whats best of all is that they do it for the craic!

Some of them are twice as old as me. Wow. I hope I'm enjoying life and cycling that much then.
Thanks for the link.

old cyclists never die .

thanks for that , very inspiring. I've given it to my Dad (88) who is convinced he's too old to do a triathlon

True! It starts falling apart when you reach 50. When's your birthday Dayvo?

i know a chap in edinburgh in his 60s who still time trials and is pretty fast. he's fed up of losing the scottish veterans' time trial championship to the 80 year old bloke though (you get 30s start for each year over 40).

back home, the best climber in the saturday club run peloton has seen 70 come and go.

And one of them works at Tunnocks.
Good man!!
