So, here is my first contribution.
Some questions:
Please tell us your age.
1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides, commute, tour, race?
6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
7. Do you do any other type of physical activities - weight lifting, skiing, running, etc.?
Perhaps you might indicate your age on your reply??
1. Cannondale R600, cheapola mtb
2. C, E, multi, + generic Prilosec!
3. Probably sped up a bit (I was slothful in my youth)
4. Biked a lot as a youth, but gave it up when I got my license. Just got back into bigtime this Summer.
5. Would like to do long rides. Did a 4 day inn-to-inn trip w/ the wife last month
6. Now that daylight is receding, only on weekends :-(. Mileage not steady yet.
7. I've played in the "Over The Hill" Soccer league last 12 years, XC ski, try to work out pretty regularly.
