I'm 62 years young and have raceed cars for a hobby over the last 9 years,last weekend I did my best time ever .
I had a go at hydroplane racing in the summer,lying prone in a small boat at 55 mph very close to the water,never done it before and came 5 and 6th out of 8 in a heavy practice boat.
The body does get a bit less resilient and it took me about a month after the racing to recover from all the bruising.
I'm learning to fly and have done around 12 hours but not solo yet although managing reasonable landings so hope to do so soon.
The point of all this is not particularly about me but how young we feel mentally,I knew some sad old bods when I was in my twenties and they were the same age as me,ie in their twenties!
