I too love this thread! No-one trying to score points off or insult someone!


Airborne Artist


At 67 I'm still cycling 3 times a week - generally average 40 miles.


This summer while cycling through Llanthony over the Black Mountains I stopped to assist a couple of cyclists with a problem - he was 80 and out touring Wales from Bristol! His good lady looked about my age.


Last year, while riding between Raglan and Monmouth I was overtaken by an 81 yr old - told me he was out from Newport and practising for the annual 12 hour ride that starts there!


There is a retired Herc' pilot I know ( who has just clocked 70 ) who cycles every day and does the trip from home in Malmesbury to his cottage at Lochinver ( North of Ullapool ) in 3 days. Wiggo eat your heart out!


Mery Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year.
