Moment of the day
 
Three years ago, while riding across the Indian River Inlet Bridge, DE, I saw an old guy walking up the north side of the bridge using a walker
I stopped and talked to the gentleman, he was 92 years of age, and, I took a picture of him and posted it on BF.
Today, I had a recurrence of the same event. I saw the guy walking up the walkway using a walker, and knew it was the same fellow. I stopped and talked to him again, his 95th birthday was yesterday.
He is still walking, I am still riding, my moment of the day, for sure.

His walk is a minimum of 1/2 mile each way. That is to the closest parking spot. The uphill of the walkway is 1/4 mile with 4 degree rise.

At 92, I think he is good. There is only one better way to go than on your feet....and that is not a proper discussion for this forum.
