45 and still going strong. Bravo!
I am 31 and starting to get very concerned about my health. I am a good 25lbs overweight and have spent too much of the past 5 years on my butt watching TV. So I say "inspirational" regarding your age and the fact that you bike as well as other outdoor activities. Anyone that thinks otherwise is jealous.
I am just glad I found the love for MTB again. I should be dropping that 25lbs quickly and now that I have introduced the sport to my wife she is quickly catching the bug as well. Win win.
All the best with your back. Keep your family at Singletracks updated.
