I didn't ride much between ages 25 to 55. Should have though, maybe would have avoided the heart attack I had at 57. Opportunities lost and all....

Started back into it, more seriously than I ever thought possible, a couple of years ago.

It was the land that I moved into back more than a decade that inspired me, as well as intimidated me when the realization hit me that my time won't be infinite.

I'm closer to 77 now than 76; trainer in my basement sees more 'mileage' over the long winter months than I can manage while the weather's Just Fine Thanks for riding outdoors.

But I ride.

As much as I can manage. Maybe an hour, maybe two.

I feel better for the activity and exertion, motivates me to continue.
