    And believe it or not I will be able to meet the guy. A friend of mine is executive director at a senior residence and this gentleman lives there. Several months ago she told me stories about an elderly gent who lives there and goes on these fabulously long rides daily. She said he often will ride 50 miles in a day.

    Well I posted this article to my FB page earlier today and she saw it and invited me to luch with the two of them. Turns out he was the same guy she had told me about.

    That's just awesome. I'll bet it was a pleasure to have lunch with the two of them and listen to his stories. You'd come away extremely motivated, as in "I can do this activity that I love for years and years to come."

    "That's just awesome. I'll bet it was a pleasure to have lunch with the two of them and listen to his stories. You'd come away extremely motivated, as in "I can do this activity that I love for years and years to come."

    I have not had the luncheon yet but will be over the next week. I'll be sure to post any words of wisdom or inspiration gained.

    You hit the nail on the head about cycling for years and years. It's one of the reasons I love biking and golf. You can do this on into your elderly years.
