I recall some 90 year old roadie in Florida who used to lead pacelines on group rides. I dunno…if I keep crashing it might be.

On your mountain bike that's like the middle on the front and maybe 6th or 7th gear on the back. It's not too bad, but on steep sections you have to stand up in the saddle and crank it out. I can still climb the hill of my subdivision (it feels similar to the lowest gear on my road bike, which only has a double ring on the front). But yeah, it's a lot different than having that low gear on a mountain bike where you can sit in the saddle and rotate like crazy in an incredible small gear. The lure of the SS is that you forget about having to shift and focus instead on pedaling. The strokes are more efficient, since the rings are perfectly aligned, so that helps some. However, it does require more strength in sections and is often touted as a way to build strength and conditioning. It's also quiet and reliable, too. All said, I still plan on getting a geared mountain bike at some point in the future. Debbie: Hopefully I’ll be able to outride you when I’m 65. ;)

My grandfather could outride me when he was 65 and I was 16... and he rode for years after that. No you are no way too old.
