Is This The 50+ Motto?
A nice find while shopping. It’s becoming more appropriate for me every day.

True!!!

Actually we already have a 50+ motto. It's "Dulcius ex aspires". (Sweeter after difficulties). I know that because it's printed on the back of my 50+ jersey.

"Find joy in the journey." I like it...that seems to be my general philosophy in life these days.
However, my folks sent me this a couple of years ago...(what are they trying to tell me?)

Motto or no motto, I always feel better after a ride. That said, for me a ride isn't a great ride unless I've stopped to take a photo.
