    I do take exception to the presumption that younger = fitter. Typically 2/3s of entries in the events I take part in are at least 13 years younger than me and my chums yet we regularly feature in the top 40-50% (but then we have collectively spent the equivalent of ... well perhaps not a Ferrari, top range Fiesta perhaps)

    Anyway whenever I read articles like this relating to physical activies, running, skiing, sailing etc. I never ever see a comment of 'bloody good show chaps, instead of vegatating and growing callouses on your arse watching Sky TV you are doing something healthy and constructive'.

    Proud to be a MAMIL - can someone please pass the Sanatogen and has anyone seen my glasses?

    Re reading the article again I accept the rise in popularity may seem to be on the back of British Cyclings success but it did make me think "why am I doing it?"

    I,m not sure about the rest of you late thirtyish guys but as a teen I was heavily into BMX which ahd just started. Then it was mountain biking, road cycling then triathlon (surely the next stage of the MAMIL?) so I see it as more of a progression thing.

    The fact I dipped my toe into motorbikes along the way is purely coincidental

    I struggle with the WAT on a pair of compression shorts!
