What's not to be happy about?

Granted, I think you've reached the age where your cake candles must be lit far from any sensitive smoke detectors but . . .

you kick @ss.

Is this where I'm expected to kiss ass? So, I'm three years older than you which makes me older than dirt. Don't stress it. It serves no purpose. Just keep enjoying your life and look out for that black Surly Crosscheck on the Greenway.

Happy Birthday OB.

No worries! I'm a scant one year behind you and happy to still be here.

Happy birthday to you! I turn 60 in a coupla weeks; that'll be truly strange. But kind of nice, somehow. There's nothing in sight to keep me off the bike, and that's the best thing. If you can ride, not a lot else matters.

Happy birthday. I just did some quick math and realized that I am only 47. I thought I was older than that -- lucky me.

Everybody says that gettin' old sucks, but just remember: It beats the alternative.

Happy Birthday!

Matt said...

Wow, halfway done, eh?

45?

Hell, that's no biggie. I find that I am having more fun the older I get (I'm 46).

I'm just wondering when the curve will top out.

As an added bonus, you can get away with saying some outrageous stuff the older you get :-)

Happy Birthday, TOB!

I agree with George - it seems to get better during these years. Actually, I slumbered through until almost 50 and then woke up. You're on the right track - being active 'reverses' some of the aging process! I'll be 53 on my next birtday & I definitely plan to 'kick @ass'!

hey old bag
if you need
I can write you a note saying that you just started a mid-life crisis
which allows you to buy a new bike
or two
this year!

do you have a cross bike?

this could be the year for you to dominate the women's 45+ class in your region!

or at least have fun trying

I have a friend named john who I am trying to get to do his first mountain bike this year
I want him to do his first before he turns 50 this year
I think he will do it
I think he will love it
I think he will do more than one race
but
he just needs to do that first mountain bike race to get it in his veins

Brandon, George, Ptelea, Gwadzilla -- thanks so much!

(Gwadz, the 'cross bike is at the shop waiting to be assembled! ...wrote my own note....)
