I know what I'm talking about. Live in this world for over half a century. I know that riding the Pacific Coast from Astoria, Oregon, to the Bay Area in California IS A MAJOR ACCOMPLISH FOR ME ... !!! Sure, there are people who can do that kind of cycling with no problem.

Count your blessings ... !!! Feel lucky, and enjoy your youth and vigor while you can, because IT WON'T LAST FOREVER ... !!! That is a 100% gurantee !!!!

You have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what I have suffered in my life, and what I'm going through every single day of my life. And I don't need to explain myself to you or anyone else. There are plenty of people who understand, and realize that what I'm planning on doing is a great challenge, and something to look forward to. This could very well be my once-in-a lifetime event, and I'm going for the gusto baby!!!
