What's your dream?

[DDH]

I have a short right now dream, that someday in the near future I will have taken off 100 lbs and look fit and trim and athletic on my bike as I ride down the road with lots of power in my legs and not getting so fatigued.

Long term in the future dream would be to stay healthy enough to continue to ride into my older years along with my DH. When we retire we want to take the travel trailor out across America, and the bikes go with us.

It's funny; we dream about being grandparents too; but we're not holding our breath. I also dream that I will be able to ride my bike into my 80's and get it together enough so that I spend a good part of my time being creative.

My dream is to stay happily married to DH to a ripe old age and to be able to play the piano just as long...

My big cycling dream would be to ride across the US. Eventually!

My dream for this summer is to bike to my parent's house. That's 100 miles away. With a stop midway at my brother's place. Hmmm...I need to get out the map and start plotting...

I guess my dream is to stay healthy enough to ride into my 80s and that my husband stays alive long enough to do that with me!
Short term, maybe to be able to do SOME mechanical stuff and do more interesting multi day riding/tours, get a Bike Friday touring bike, and perhaps ride just a little bit faster.

Short term dream: to be able to ride up real hills again. Not those gentle little grades, but a grade that's steep enough to be a challenge.

Long term dream: To be as active at 60 as my dad, and to keep a marriage going as long as mom and dad have. They're still happy together after almost 37 years .

My dream is to continue to take adventure trips every year as long as I am able and to be able for a long time. This year I rode a camel in the Sinai desert with the Bedouin, next year it's mountain biking and camel riding in the Gobi desert in Mongolia, maybe also biking and camel riding in the Thar desert. . . I'm in my 60s and loving life to the limit. Thanks for this very interesting thread. I enjoy reading about everyone's dreams.

My long term dream would be to gather enough strength to do a camping trip with panniers and backpacks on a bike for days at a time. My DH might bike a few miles here and there but not as compelled as I am to bike. And while I am dreaming, the weather would be perfect with a few sprinkles here and there, mid 70's and no to little breeze! Short term dream would be to spend some time at Martha's VIneyard and cycle. Heard it is beautiful.

Rij73 and NorthStar stole my dreams. I would like to also be able to play the piano into older age and ride my bike across the US with my hubby.

I'm still talking about a Vancouver to Key West bike trip.

I want to be the Aunt/Grandma that cooks up a super-hot batch of green chili with tortillas while teaching (by example) the youngsters how to cuss in multiple languages,the words to naughty songs and how to hunt elk.

And then I want to hop on my bike and come back weeks later with more stories and pictures.

And when I die, as we all will, I want it to be sudden, while doing something I love.

In short, I want to be the eccentric old lady that everyone has to make allowances for - and yes, I've been told that I'm almost there, already.
