21st Century Cliche: Age is relative (or riding with Steve)

You hear them all the time: age is relative; forty is the new 30; and 70 is the new 60. If this is true, then is 20 the new 10? I hope not. Cliche's aside, one of my good friends and riding compatriot just turned 50 and if 50 is the new 40, then Steve is 25 and I'm going on 63. Hands down Steve is the best climber in our group of middle-aged mountain bikers. Dedication. Focus. Passion. Commitment. Success. If 50 is the new 40, then I'm gunning for 50.
