Just turned 54, feel about 34 I guess. Serving the Lord, clean living and mountain biking has gotta be the reason. I just bought a new Trek X-Caliber 9. I'm coming off of a 1993 rigid hardtail, hoping this new bike will soften the ride, LOL.

I was hoping to find a Ragley but no dice. I hate this low stock thing going around. The Trek arrives on Dec. 27th.

Regards,,

53 here. When I run into an old classmate I can't help but think how old they look. There is a definite advantage to leading the good life.

55 here. I am younger than most of the younger people I meet.

51. Feel and look 40.I still have all my hair and none of it's grey. I'm in great shape but I should slow down on the beer.

Turned 50 this year.

I have been a mountain biker since 1995. Took a pretty big break when I had kids in 2005. Got back into it 2 years ago. I also quit drinking 2 years ago after spending about 30 years being a pretty heavy drinker.

Now On the bike I feel better than I ever did. Mostly because I was always sauced in my early days. Off the bike I’m feeling pretty good, my next step is to really focus on diet. I’m 6’5” down to 234 from 260. Would like to get to 225. Wish I had started taking care of myself at 40, 30 20……… 🤔

Most of the guys I work with are in their late 20's. I have to remind myself sometimes that they're younger than my son. Been feeling my age though, lately. Just turned 54

It's not too late.

How the h*ll did I get to be 63? I feel like I'm in my mid-40s - until I go over the bars.

Thanks!!!

I recently got a fat bike for winter riding. Took it out a few weeks back for a test ride. Two guys, I would place in their early 30’s, on the trail were giving me some friendly razzing about it. Then they rode away. About 10 minutes later I passed both of them on the climb to the summit. I didn’t say a word, I didn’t have to. 🤔.

Felt pretty good about that.

Most of the time, but not lately. Maybe because I had my 2nd colonoscopy already at 53, or because I ran 5 ultramarathons in 15 weeks this summer into the fall. That takes a toll on you. I have been sore everywhere lately, I have been running, biking, and weight lifting. Just started doing legs again, holy crap that hurts. Good thing I am not retired, I'd probably abuse my body even more.

I turn 50 in January, and I bike, lift weights and I have to admit there is no getting around Father Time. I can still do it...I can ride trails most find too hard but the recovery is getting longer. I don't have the stamina of a younger man. I wish I did. I only get one ride a week but am looking to improve on this as a resolution for 2022. Funny; 3 years ago I got a lifelong dream of getting a good Ti hardtail and could happily live with it as my only bike for the rest of my life. Neither my knees nor back complains at all.

59 and feel better than I ever have. Crushing 30 y/o's and pr's at will but I realize my time at this level is extremely limited and that every day is a gift. Carpe diem!

 

[Bassmantweed]

I wonder if we’re all crushing the 30 year old’s, because like me in my 30’s they’re either hung over or buzzed! 😂😂🤔

75 here, but when I ride my 2021 Heckler and push the button once, I fell like I'm 65 again. Push the button a second time and I fell like I'm 55. Push the button a third and final time, and I fell like I'm 40/45 again!!

Belly button or elevator button?

59... that's right about the time I fell apart, J.B.
Keep it going!

If you are 54 and feel like 34, you must not have been pushing much when you are 34.

Her Belly button and My elevator button......
