Well this is a hell of a thread.
Jim, I'm sorry to hear about your vertigo and I hope you can get some rides in really soon.
I'll be 60 in July. I still work full time and ride at least 4 days a week from about March to November, if I'm able. House projects and doing stuff with my wife who doesn't ride sometimes takes priority. I am very blessed to be able to do this but who knows how long I or any of us can ride. That's why I bit the bullet and bought a new bike, fingers crossed the high tech is ok for years to come. I'm planning to take more vacation and ride more, plus do more stuff with my wife and grown sons. I've already started this plan this year.
I could have liked every comment already written on this thread. I'm thankful for this community and hopeful for all of you guys to get out and ride if you can, and if you cannot, enjoy whatever else it is you're up to.
