and they kept trying to hang onto my tail maybe the rainfall deluge that is in the forecast flushed them out of their rocking chairs. Just sayin

No guff eh. I walked the dog out at Spanish Banks and in the woods. Old dudes on mountain bikes wobbling about all over.

Just so I'm clear. At what age does one become eligible for old fart status?

I'm pretty sure that it's anyone older than I am.

Yeah, kinda like the formula for Number of Bikes I Should Own = N + 1 where N is the number of bikes I currently own.

There's a group here known as "OFR" (Old Fart Riders). I've ridden with them a few times. A fun group. Lots of gray hair. A couple of them can be a bit grumpy though. Maybe you're an OFR when all you ride is steel without a computer...I might be OFR then. LouM...

So I've been an old fart since I was 13? First "real" bike, a 52-36 10 speed. Next, the Lambert with three chainrings (and sew-ups). One week after my last race, I ordered my Mooney that got my racing gears 53-42 x 13-19 plus a 28t front. I was 25 years old. I've been an old fart a LONG time! These "tripples"? Don't you have to go to Starbucks to get them? No, that I have never done. Ben

Posted By pa biker on 03/10/2014 12:21 PM when you buy your first Serotta? I bought mine in 1992....at the ripe old age of 26.

Just say "NO!" to WCP!!!!
