Fifty Plus (50+) - Old Hammer Boy makes it to Florida, darn it

I write this with mixed emotions. I'm happy and proud to have made it this far, but I see the end coming, and I'm already missing being on the road even though I have several hundred miles to go. Will I be able to survive life after my great adventure? Guess I'll have to!

One thing I've found about an adventure--it never curbs your appetite. You only want more.

Just turn around and start riding back!

Glad to hear that things continue to go well.

WOW!! I am impressed.

Watch out for the gators!

Bravo! It's been great getting those real time reports of your progress. Just gives us scale to how far you were going while we were sitting in offices. :eek:

I hate to see your trip end, too. It's been wonderful reading about it!

I feel the same way. I'll miss your electronic postcards from your travels.

I am still envious. What a GLORIOUS thing to do. Wow.

Are you riding back? I mean, hey, just take a different route home.

I take my hat off to you Hammer Boy, and even if you quit now, you did something you''ll remember the rest of your life. Congradulations.

Just turn around and start riding back!

Glad to hear that things continue to go well.

I will be retiring soon and follow your footsteps (I mean bike spurs).:)

Cool.

Great accomplishment, keep going until you get to Key West and then hang out for a few weeks

Maybe when we all retire we should do this as a group. Could you imagine that. A group of 50 or so 60+ers riding across america. We'd be in the news for months. We'd all be famous. We'd make millions in endorsements. This could be bigger than the Million Man March.

Big Congrats Dean.

Probably for all of the times we got arrested!!

Awesome ride - can't wait to hear the total mileage.

I can't wait and hear how the equipment held up, trekking bars tires, BOB, etc.
