I finally made the 65 last Friday and did the required 65 miler plus my 2 miles extra for the "pinch to grow an inch" but for me the "pinch = 2 miles extra" in hope that I don't shrink much more.

Wishing I felt 65 but sadly feeling more like the second foot is just shy of passing the horizontal plane into the 6' deep hole.

After reading the posts here, I find myself feeling fortunate that I do not have the ailments so many here have. Prostate cancer, thyroid issues, arthritis, zero testosterone, anemia, other crap BUT all this really doesn't compare, in my mind, to the SURGERY-MEDICATION REQUIRED illnesses many of you all are living through. Your challenges are great and your resolve to overcome those challenges is all inspiring. Whining solves nothing, wining might but sadly I am not allowed at this time to enjoy that recourse, so we write/converse/inquire to advance our understanding of these ills.

Good luck to all and I hope the best for you. My family/friends must think bicycling is a form of religious pursuit for me and I hope to continue this passion as long as possible even though many times it seems to hurt more than it helps, but heck, every once in a while self flagellation does a body good.....right**********
