Age at time of ride: 59
I've been backpacking for 35 years and recently converted to bike touring. Both offer:
The simplicity of self propelled motion. A healthy form of physical exertion.
The self reliance of carrying all your worldly needs. The solitude necessary
for deep contemplation. The companionship of like-minded travelers. The
ability to witness the beauty of the world around us at a speed that allows
attention to detail in a slowly, ever-changing panorama.
