    Oh hell no. Once I retire, that's it--no more working. And while I'm eligible in another 2 years and 3 months (but who's counting), most likely it will be more like 6 years. So you go on ahead and ride and we'll do it again later.

    Sounds like a plan. By then I should have the experience.

    I've always said I wanted to ride across the United States when I retire. Don't know if you want to call it a goal or a dream but I won't be able to do it for at least another 7 years. Maybe I could join you two! Wouldn't that be a hoot????

    That'd be fabulous. The more people we can get to participate, the better the possibility of organizing our own SAG support. I don't think I can wait 7 yrs. though. I'm pretty anxious ...
