Good job Tom. I'm 43 and just had my first 400 mile month in June. Distance cycling is a great 40 something activity to keep the body and mind fit.

No Elk here in Mid-Maryland, but we hunt a lot of geese in the farm firlds here close to home. I do a majority of my scouting by bike. Killing two birds with one stone so to speak. Good luck in the Elk woods this year and I'm sure the summer riding will pay off for you.
