Hello! Newly minted 50+ here
Just turned 50 yesterday (not sure how that possibly could have happened, but here I am) and I just wanted to say hello! I've been lurking on this fourm for a while and now that I'm "offical" I hope to contribute now and again.
I ride mtb & road, although this year it has been mostly road, here in the hilly, rocky state of NH. I come from a long line of peasants, so I'm not very fast, but can plug along for a long time. Love pie, but not wild about white bikes.

Welcome,
I'm recently minted myself... May 28th. The folks here are good folks, friendly, knowledgeable, and mildly opinionated (but, then again aren't we all). (Watch out for the blueberry discussion)
See ya on the road,

Welcome to 50+ This is the best group in this very large Forum. (My opinion. Your mileage may vary.)
I like blue bikes. Grey is also a nice color. Red is OK. That color I refer to as "70s Orange" is pretty cool as well. Don't see it too much anymore.

How do we know you're really fifty? You don't look that old. Get off our lawn.

Welcome. Bikes of all colours appreciated here. Pies of all flavours too.
I get to pass through NH from time to time. Beautiful state.

have a white mtb and I like it too.
I also have a blue road which I ride 98% of the time, I need to get the white bike in circulation this fall though.
Welcome aboard and a day late

I'm new here also, but turned 50 6 years ago. Welcome aboard! ( Celeste Green is my favorite, but can't afford it ) My Randonee is blue, gray and white...I'm really starting to like it.

welcome to the group but hold on. It is about being over 50 years old? I thought it was about being more the 50 pounds.

Welcome. My bike is mostly black, and the yellow trim is fading to white. But it's still a better bike than I am a rider.

Welcome to the asylum. Glad to have someone else around who appreciates the joys of riding on and off the roads.
I've never cared much for white bikes, either, but I must admit that I've been lusting after one that is at least partially white lately.

Newly minted 50+********** That's an oxymoron.
I can tell that you're going to fit right in. We like all kinds of morons.
