Yup.
What is his health like?
We did a gazebo build for a Veteran this past summer. 100` weather, 3 Days. The youngster in the group is mid 50s. The two oldest were late 70s and early 80s. The 80 year old is super fit. It would not surprise me if he qualified for preferred.
Maybe but perhaps not. My peers range in age from 50 to 79 and any can bike ride 50 mi any day of the week including days when there is a heat advisory where the "old and infirm" are supposed to stay indoors. We laugh and go ride.
Apparent fitness level ranges from obese to slim & trim. Many have had significant issues that would cause underwriting declines in any market other than FE. Heart attacks, strokes, diabetes & joint replacements are common but don't stop a person from riding long distances. They simply recover fast if they were in relatively good shape prior to the recent incident.
