Mine was 178 and I thought I was going to blow it out of my nose.
I am 39. Does this mean I have a huge manly heart or the heart of an old man?

Can't say anything about your max heartrate, its so dependent on the person and genetics. It does tend to get lower with age (afaik). I've hit 206 and I'm 20.

Listen, urbanknight - I don't want to hear any of that. I want to know if my measly max heart rate is a limiter on my chances of getting to the Tour. I am 39, I need to make decisions fast.

Isn't there some grand tour rule, like a min % of riders over a certain age, that makes it easier for old folks like you to get in?

Of course, I'm just jealous because I'm 10 years your junior and I rarely see a number above 178.
