Getting ready to leave for the EYE Dr. in an hour I decided to look back and dream at how easy it was --

https://www.strava.com/activities/1261540006 In 2017 an easy 202.50 miles @ 17.8mph moving average on Saturday after 132 miles on Tuesday and 101 miles on Thursday. Oh to be 67yo again.

I, too, would like to be 67 again.
No supporting data, just an unrealized dream.

edit: ...but doesn't this belong in the 65+ sticky?? Maybe wish for 50?
