I applaud jtdickie for having the ambition to get out there and enjoy his life! I suggest that you follow his example. 70 miles is nothing if you do a little preparation and training, even at 70+ years old. A team of four 75+yr old (average age, two were over 80) raced and completed the Race Across America last year. We are only limited by the limitations we put on ourselves.
