I'm too old for epic adventures but I believe I'll be able to do a few bike tours lasting 3-4 days in New Hampshire or Vermont this summer. My bike is ready to go and I have the necessary gear from camping.
First, thank you for the kind words. (Yeah, we do have fun! )

Second, I'm not sure how old one has to be to rule out epic adventures, for epic is in the mind of the adventurer, I would think. I'm 63, have done only a little touring and that was years ago. But my sweetie and I are hoping to do a bit on our tandem this summer. We've been riding it only since October, have already done 600 miles. It's a 1982 Peugeot, not some spiffy carbon, high-tech, zillion-gear space vehicle. We'll start slow here in Massachusetts, then consider how it went. If you're interested in a joint venture later in the summer, not too aggressive just yet, drop me a PM!

There are indeed a bunch of impressive resumes here. I figure anyone riding a bike must have something interesting tucked away in their bag of mental tricks. Check out the similar 50+ thread "What career?"
