Hi Tom. Glad to see you found the Introductions forum.
Statements like "Old guy from the Garden State" are not allowed here.
I'm 57 (soon to be 58) and I'm not old. There are several others here who were born before me but aren't old either. Cycling keeps us young.
Have fun touring. Post pix when you can.
Good luck with the bike mechanics course. Wish they would offer something like that around here.
