Who is Angela Soper?
ANGELA SOPER, in her 70's "...The part of me that always stands aside from our antics seemed to say, 'What are they doing, these middle-aged women?'. And the active part replied, 'Rubbish. Let them stay young and daft until they're old and strange.'" (image from her Facebook page, shown using ropes, but equally capable of casually solo-ing around. Link goes to a brief bio, with clickthroughs.)
These folks started exercising late in life and are now lean and mean competitive athletes!
