So what is stopping you ?

“Every week on the roads around Glasgow a group of men aged between 65 and 89 take to the saddle, armed with a makeshift kettle and a lust for life.”

If these you lads can do it, you should be able to do the same or at least half their distance. Reading stuff like this, puts a smile on my face and a bit of shame since I shouldn’t moan and say I can’t be a…. If they so can I since I’m half their age.

“That may be, but it seems they’ll be a long time dying. And as I head home I wonder what will finish these men, what could ever stop them climbing on their bikes and ­cranking up the hills, into the wide blue, wherever the hell it takes them.”

I have found out what I’m going to do when I’m 65. The Baby :) of the lot, will probably still be around when I’m old enough to join and I do hope I’m allowed.
