Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on November 18, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Bobby Julich! You're still pedaling strong through life—though hopefully with fewer hills and more cake these days. Your silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Individual Time Trial remains legendary; rumor has it clocks everywhere are still intimidated by your speed.

From conquering time trials to inspiring cyclists worldwide, you've always been ahead of the pack (and occasionally ahead of Father Time). May this birthday bring you as much joy as that podium moment in Athens—and remember: age is just a number, but medals last forever. Keep spinning those wheels and laughing all the way!
