Harry and I did exactly 50 miles yesterday, here in the Berkshires, as part of getting ready to do RTR in June. Sensational ride. ONe of the great breaks is that there arfe serious hills up here, if that’s what you like. We found a lot of them.
I would love to drop ten pounds but otherwise things seem to be going ok.

Harry had a nice remark when we got back to the house: “we rode more or less side-by-side for 50 miles in the hills. And I am 23 years younger than you and in decent shape. That’s, frankly, amazing.”

I didn’t feel amazing but it sure is nice. Uplifting. to tell the truth. Nice to be more or less alive at 72.
