I just came across this and read the article! Thank you for posting it. It's an inspiration and I hope to be cycling for a very long time too. God bless Gordy Shields.

What an awesome and inspirational story! Thanks so much for sharing.
When we were rail trail riding last Friday, there were a ton of seniors on the trail. It was really nice to see. Sure, most of them were poking along, but I think it's super awesome that they were out there, regardless of speed!!! I made sure to smile and nod to each one I passed...I hope they know that someone is out there cheering them along.
I said to my husband afterwards that I hope we'll be out there like that too when we're senior citizens.
