We constantly meet new physical limits as we age. We see less, hear less, and eventually travel shorter distances on our bicycles. The differences can be subtle, almost unnoticeable, but can also arrive in an instant and be devastating. If you want to explore your world by bicycle, now is the time as you are less likely to be able to when you are 70 years old.

I did a number of things my friends said they would only do once retired. Very few of them will ever get to do those things. They thought I was slightly out of my mind when I bought a big boat to spend my time on the Mississippi, and I'm glad I could share part of my ride with them when I did because I certainly couldn't do it now.

If I would have listened to everyone else I would have never done this.
Maybe I should've bought a bigger boat...
