Jon Snow's biological age
Jon Snow ( a British television broadcaster) is quoted in today's Grauniad as saying
" I had my biological age tested the other day. I'm 57 although technically I'm 64. That's not bad. Cycling."
Hurrah for he, but for all that pain I was hoping to get a tad more than seven years out of cycling for myself - if I don't get turned into bendy-bus jam in the meantime that is .
Any one know about this biological age testing thingie?
Been raining for four days here - I've got cabin fever!

"No, it's OK, really", replies cycling.

Does sound interesting - I think basically it's a batch of tests, various bloods, heart, lung function, probably cognitive function too. I always thought that cyclists were supposed on average to be 10 years biologically younger than their actual ages… so mayabe Jon is paying a bit of a price for all that international travel and meetings in smoke filled rooms.
Wouldn't mind having a go myself, I'm 75 y'know and still got all my own teeth!
