Perspective

Nice ride today I was telling myself. Pushed hard for 30 miles and was feeling pleasantly tired. I had passed an older guy on his bike early in the ride and now he was coming up to me in the parking lot. He said I looked smooth out there on the bike and he asked a couple of questions about my bike, how far I went etc. He then mentioned he was 80 and still liked to ride and he had ridden with a buddy that was slower. We said our good byes and I was thinking I hope I am riding at 80, then I noticed his Korean War Vet tag. Maybe bike riding is the easy part of getting to 80...
