Tezza Member Join Date: May 2003 Location: Canberra Posts: 42	Hi, I'm 54 and when I retired about 4 years ago, I bought a Giant Innova and one for my wife. We did a fair bit of day touring and overnight stuff from motel to motel in various wine growing areas of Aus. All of a sudden I found that it was not enough. Since then I have joined a Veterans' road racing club, bought a lovely little Merida 904 road bike and have even started winning races (and prize money!!!!). I'm fitter than I have been for the last 20 years. Long may the riding and friendships continue. Tezza

I still Mountain Bike and race, but the road is AMAZING! Hope to race in road races real soon. My wife rides XC, and after the birth of our first child she will join me on the road (if we can get enough sleep in those first months) __________________ You can endure anything for 26 minutes

Kupa Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Santa Cruz, California Posts: 36	45 here, stopped racing back in '89 when I moved from Boston to Zion National Park in Utah to start a Bed & Breakfast. Moved from Utah to California in 98 for a job in software. Was president of a software company that produced human/animal 3D animation tools until January of this year. Now I'm not working for the time being, and enjoying training again. I want to start Masters racing later this season or next. Thoroughly enjoying training again. Looking forward to competing once I get my legs and lungs back. Cheers, Steve Cooper __________________ The faster you go, the smaller you get.

mikegroom Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 2	Hi everyone, I'm 38 and new to bike riding. Just started (about 6 weeks ago) commuting to work on my bike. Gradually getting quicker, have a few traffic hazards etc to deal with. I live in the south west of Western Australia. I'm married with two kids (both girls aged 10 and 8). Went through a big keep fit phase starting Jan 2002. Have successfully lost 30kg (66lb I think that converts to). I play competition water polo and enjoy swimming and a bit of running as well. As stated I think I'm going to get on the bike a bit more now and try a few longer rides. I work at Edith Cowan University (South West Campus) as the I.T. Manager, have been working in the I.T. industry for almost 15 years now. Cheers, Mike

omega lambda Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: SoCal Posts: 7	Hi gang, I'm 44 and new to cycling as well. I've been the stoker on a tandem for about a year. I finally got the tandem all decked out with a Barcalounger, TV and small fridge, then decided to ride solo. I got a new road bike last weekend, and...um...I'm a little tired. I checked out the dork list. I've ridden with #1, #3 and #10 dorks, my tandem captain is a #8 dork and I will confess to being a #10a dork. I'm forgiving myself for this one lapse though, since I've only been riding solo for a week. There is a grace period, no?

rozbr Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 1	I’m 45 from Brazil leaving for a while in USA (until end of 2003) used to ride off-road for fun 400K a month but now injured waiting to know whether I can ride again. Therefore I had time to surf on internet and find this cool site (I was looking for people with similar problems to exchange experience but I couldn’t find). Congratulations for the site. I’ll visit it more frequently.
