Just to give an idea the sort of activities which he and I will be doing together next weekend:

We're taking the train with our bikes and going to Seattle for a few days. There's a major bike show that attracts cyclists and wannabes from all over the Pacific Northwest. He has some things to do related to his cycling facility planning biz, go to the bike show and also do some cycling around town. The weather at this time is not conducive to rainfree, warm cycling between Vancouver and Seattle.

We will be meeting up with another couple from Vancouver at this bike show, etc.

I have to say that since I've been with my partner for long time, that I do have a slightly warped / inaccurate sense of how men look at MY age. In fact I don't think I've totally woken up to the fact that men my age..are 50. It's easier to deal with my partner's age 'cause I've been with him for many years now.
