Hmmm, word puzzles . . . always interesting . . .
Females In Lycra Love It Every Season
Female Lycra Aficionados Totally Underestimating Lengthy Evaluations Never Can Eat
Lycra On Wimmin Links Intuitively to Female Evangelism
Middle Aged Wimmin Know It’s Safe Having lycra
Older PHemales Embrace Lycra In Age
Older Wimmin in Lycra Imitate Super Heroes
Suitable Lycra Users Take Selfies
Suitable Older Females Taking It Easy Situationally
maybe . . . Ladies Of a Certain Age in Lycra Suits

Let me toss this derail in in: Richard Shidell has a great song titled Che Guevara Tee Shirt. You can but a shirt on his web site that has no image, just the words "Che Guevara Tee Shirt" on it. So meta....

Middle age implies you know how long you will live anyhow.

Let's just keep in mind that this thread is meant in fun ... meant to be humorous. Please refrain from being rude.

And I'd like to hear from more middle-aged women!

MAWIL doesn't have much of a ring to it.

It might be called projection.

I know of a LOT of middle aged riders who are trim, taut and terrific. Bent riders... not so much.

Nothing I like better on an event ride than trying to hold the wheel of a MAWIL. Give me inspiration.
