Anyone interested in doing a regularly scheduled 50+ (or there abouts) ride?  Not that I mind riding with anyone, but occasionally its nice to ride with guys around your own age........

Post up if interested.....

I would be interested but have a very limited amount of time until softball season ends in about a month.  I'm definitely north of 50 and ride relatively conservatively.  I'm in OK shape for my age, although this winter has hurt my conditioning more than years past.  Just let me know what you have in mind or message me to trade contact information.

I'm 52 do I qualify?  All the kids I ride with are at least 10years younger than me.

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.

Everybody knows you "old guys" are the strongest riders!  Usally run me right into the ground trying to keep up.

I was thinking Trail.  Now I think of it weekly may be too often.  How about once a month?

I'm 48, but I ride like I'm much older. 
Post when and where.

Interested. 

Was riding this weekend, and everyone was 20 years my junior. My favorite comment was that I provided a good 'pace' such that they did not ride too quick and would have enough energy for the longer ride. Wish I could have told my heart that -- it was almost enough to make a person buy a rode bike to build up the hill climbing ability...  Cheesy

I'm interested although I'm 'only' 48 but pretty unfit at the moment. Had my first ride in 7 months last weekend at LNSP and my rear end took a real beating as I've lost all saddle conditioning not to mention the legs, lungs and heart straining to put up with the abuse.  Embarrassed

I might want to join in on some of the rides. I just turned 64, so I think that is kind of old. I'll keep checking for time and location.

Happy Birthday Mike! I still need to get these flats to you. I'll be at LNSP this weekend, so if you are there, look me up.
Mike.

Would like a regular Trail ride but I go with the flow, rain that is Undecided
This weekend looks like a trail washout, so It's road bike again.
Sunday ride at 2:30 from The Old Meck Brewery off Old Pineville 
Rd, Southside St, Charlotte. 20 mile or 29 mile faster pace option. 
Try to hang with the faster riders but if I get dropped I wait for the
next slower group. If you decide to ride this Sunday I'm the older 
guy wearing a Rudge Bike Shirt.

I'd be interested in riding with you whenever I can make it. (I'll ride with the 2nd group.)

Right now I've been off the bike for a long while and need to get built back up to even do that.
