Gravelcyclist.com, did a survey recently (link below). There are quite a few riders in their 50s. From my perspective you
are the “younger” riders. The survey noted with some surprise that there were a handful of respondents who are 70+ (I’m 70). To my way of thinking gravel is perfect for people my age. It’s non-technical, safer than road riding and the scenery is better.
