saying 50+ is 'old chaps' country is just wrong.

Ooops. Does this mean I'm in for a tough time on Sunday's ride?

I hear old men on Brompton's can be quite swift.

I went to the CTC York Rally a couple of times in the 1990s, and there were old lads there, in their 70s, 80s, or 90s, who were as fit as anyone on their bikes, yet could hardly walk and some could hardly even straighten themselves out of their on-bike posture.

Don't foget that the national vets record for an 80-year old for a 25-mile time trial is 59min and something seconds

Oh, yes...I now have a target to aim for!

That is fantastic. Huge respect.
