I'll be 38 this year, not sure what my theoretical max is though.
I wouldnt ride like that with strangers, but with the two lads I cycle with, its got to be a bit of a game one night a week we race each other home. I'm not as fit as the other two at the moment, but because I know them well I sit in their wheels till I see them tiring. One guy has a psychological problem with a climb and struggles to get up it, so I wait till we get to that bit and attack him. The other guy has a problem with a different climb so again I sit in and then I attack him as well. Its a bit sneaky, but we have a good laugh about it, they know I am going to do it and it ends up a good guage of our fitness / spurs us on to push ourselves harder.
