Nap? This 72 year old has just come in from a 15 miles ride covering a 700 foot elevation and with a 1 in 5 at at one point. This morning's 14 miles was a touch easier, just a 600 foot climb in it.

How the devil do you manage to get 48 hours in each of your days, Flecc?

That's good. Back in time to watch Countdown then??

I don't waste time watching Countdown!

If you were to check my posts today, you'd see them spaced by the two main riding periods, plus a shopping trip ride just completed. And while I'm in, I attend to the forum as I pass the computer in the course of doing other things.

Radio 4 is better than TV since I can do other things at the same time as listening, so there aren't many minutes wasted in each day. I'm listening to PM about the US economy as I type this.

For 10 years, I have not had a TV at all and I listen only to Radio 4, so no Countdown for me. I'm getting very excited about becoming eligible for a Saga holiday though and then a bus pass. I was thinking about it on the Afghan border last year, having travelled up the Khaiber Pass with a friend and thinking how nice it would be. After 26 miles on my bike yesterday, I thought perhaps I was being a bit premature at 48 ......... a nap sorted that out soon enough though.

Quite obviously I am the child of the forum at a mere 39 years old

The sad thing is that it's probably me at a whopping 34 years old .... and yet I bet you could all out-pedal me by miles!

I am 32, but I could be in my 70's by the time I decide which bike to get.
I usually listen to Radio 5. Obviously not as posh as you Radio 4 types

Well, you're both at the 'young uns' end Martin & Marilyn, but not the youngest! ...

...time to revive the cyclist age poll again, from page 36 of the index!

No breakdown of ages above 50 I'm afraid, Fred, but gives an idea of the wide age range of members .

P.S. if you are in the age range 41-50, just ignore the typo & poll as 51-50!

I reckon I'm about 23 but my wife insists I'm 43.. What does she know (apart from everything , of course)

 

[coops]

maybe we need 2 polls then - one for actual age & one for how old you feel! (Or 3 - another one for how old your other half says you are!...)
