That gives me hope. I'm 55 and would love to ride across the US one day, but I've been wondering lately if I'll be too old when I have the time and money to do it.

Or something like that.

Tarwheel: Thanks for reinforcing my belief it's better to live for today. For me that is, not trying to tell you what to do.
