    遙知馬力日久見人心 Over a long distance, you learn about the strength of your horse; over a long period of time, you get to know what’s in a person’s heart.

    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!

    And here I thought the 4-person 75+ year old RAAM team was impressive and was my inspiration (currently averaging nearly 15mph, too!)

    But, now I want to be a SuperGranny! when I grow up

    Race Accross America team called Great Grand PAC Masters:

    http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/raa..._Year_ID=2&B=3

    4 guys, youngest is 73 and oldest is 85. Currently 884.1 miles in and averaging 14.31 mph.

    I can't find the link about their logo...it is an hourglass with the sand running. The comment was something about their muscles being the neck of the hour glass--keep 'em fit and strong and it slows down the sand through the hourglass.
