8) I started jogging at 50 and it always hurt. Got a a bicycle 18 months ago and haven't stopped. Have ridden my road bike 7500 miles since with a 8 week break for prostate cancer surgery.
I have done several centruy rides and am now training for the Lotoja Race on Sept. 11, that goes from Logan Utah to Jackson Hole Wyoning
(206 miles in one day). I hope I survive.
The bike never hurts my joints like running did. I have had many pains after 4 to 5 hours in the saddle but they go away and I'm ready to ride.
The best thing about cycling is you can eat almost anything you want.
Twinkies-pizza are Good For YOu.

Hi Galico, Welcome to the greatest sport of all from sunny Australia.
WOW, 330 kilometres in one day thats one hell of a ride, the best of luck to you.
I am 65 now and still ride three times a week.
Just a quick tip that was given to me in a 200 km ride a few years ago, plan your ride to have plenty of short breaks. Before you get back on the bike WALK for 50-100 metres , it's amazing what this does to your legs.
I look forward to hearing of your success
Kind regards Ian
