Default The dream is back

Earlier this summer I had the good fortune to find a longbikes
Vanguard at a garage sale. Bicycle riding has become so much fun
again. Some years ago I pretty much stopped riding my upright bicycle
because of back pain. I sold my beautiful Motobecane touring bike and
along with it went my dreams of riding a bicycle across the country.
Now i am 58 years old and still need a good bit of work to get back
into good riding shape but I can ride all day without back pain. The
other evening I was looking at these newsgroups and began thinking
about THE RIDE again. I went digging into my old file cabinet and
found my old Bike Centennial maps covering Missoula, Montana (where I
lived at the time) to St Augustine, Fl. (pretty close to where I live
now).........Cross country on a recumbent...hmmmmmmmmmm? I may be 20
years older but THE DREAM IS BACK!

Hi Phil,

Great that you had the luck to find that 'bent. Now (with apologies to
Nike), just do it!

Regards,

enjoy the ride

So true. A wonderful metaphor for life itself, no?

After all, we all arrive at the same 'destination' eventually, yet it's how we
'travel' there that defines us.

I like to believe that it's how we travel that determines where we wind up.
