Max heart rates and age

Your numbers sound reasonable. I'm 53, 220-age gives me 167 bpm, I saw
172 on the treadmill when getting a stress echo and I wasn't anywhere
near gassed. Most guys I know who are older who race or raced and
still ride have higher max HR's than 220-age would indicate.
I'll be your age in a couple of months, and I still occasionally see
190 on a good day and a hard climb. But I'd gladly trade 10bpm for
8kph.
