After meeting Amos , Ken and Paul and his two friends for lunch on Thursday last week I went back on Friday on my bike to catch up with my riding buddies on Friday at the Pisgah Inn Country Store.
Soon the conversation went into " till what age do we expect to ride" as most of my friends are into the seventies. After thinking this over on my ride to Mount Mitchell yesterday and today to Lake Lure I came to the conclusion that at 75 my riding days will be over , I will be 70 in September 2020 . My trips are shorter now because of bath room stops after my prostate removal and also my eyesight and reactions are not getting better. I still ride 3 to 4 times a week but do I need 3 bikes ???
I am thinking of perhaps selling the 2017 this summer.
Getting old sucks but I am too old to die young !
