Anyone here ride their age for a 40 km TT. By that I mean riding 50 minutes at age 50, 55 at age 55, dtc. Its pretty much a benchmark for older golfers and pretty rare.
I can think of at least 2 posters that may have done it or been close but not sure.
JackMott is 60?
No… but I’m pretty sure an intersection will occur in a few years (I hope). I’ll be 53 soon and haven’t slowed down significantly since I started riding again 10 years ago. If I ever get to the point where I’m losing a minute per year, that would really suck…

58?
no I am 35.
Bob Chambers might be our best bet on the forums?
Maybe Carl Spackler in a few years?
Hmmmm - what type of course?
I’m 53 and have gone 58…of course 5 minutes in s LOOOONG way. Did 61(I think) in a Tri last year on a course in the mountains.
I attained that intersection last year and repeated this year (as a 58 year old).
I did 50:47 at our state TT at racing age 51. BUT … it ended up being about 600-700m (as I recall) short of 40k
90% sure nslckevin has done it. (the M50+ 40km record?)

until you get older you can work at running your age in a 10k. That’s a lot easier.
I think we can all agree to allow that.

Pretty sure nslckevin has gone well under his age.
ElC has ridden under his age by a few minutes, he is 57 and last yeat did a 53(~40k) and a 51:37(39k)
i expect this year he will do a bit better

fffffffffuuuuuu
.
i showed him the light and he adapted well

Anyone do both in the same year? Also pretty sure that john Pattersn has done it (biking) also .

For someone who can ride their age in a 40k TT I would think the running of a 10k in their age would be a walk in the park.
I’m closer to the age where your goal is to ride at an average speed higher than your age. I didn’t get into the sport early enough to do that either though.
…Pretty sure nslckevin has gone well under his age.
He either did last year when he set the masters record or will likely this year.
I’m either a few years or a few minutes away depending on how you look at it.
Definitely a geezers contest though, pretty hard to play if you’re not at least 47
He did it last year by :04 and missed it the year prior by :17 (50:17 when he was 50). In two more years he could probably do it on his road bike.
I think somewhere around age 60 is where this becomes doable for a lot of people… and until old age really takes its toll.
Never thought of that, that will be a cool goal for the next couple of years
