This just means LOTS of us are out there doing
things our parents could never even imagine... We are so fortunate to have that
opportunity....!!!!!!!! Who would have ever imagined when we were in our
teens that past the age of 50 we could actually complete fifty mile
rides!!!! Or actually ride a horse all day??? We are setting a
precedence for generations to come. The choice is getting older or
not... which means we die... death can be the permanent state or the slow state
of continued reduction in abilities. Seems it is better to keep going and
set new goals for the following generations to beat.
Now in addition to just trying to complete
the rides, the 'older' riders are in sufficient numbers to vie for who is the
oldest rider... I don't have the stats but I would guess there are more and more
'older' riders every year. Those baby boomers just won't let
go............. happy trails to all...........
