I think it's around a 24-mile hike, but with some pretty stiff climbs. Today, that same group is cycling from LA to San Diego, an unsupported century, although if one regards every 7-11 as a rest station I'm sure they'll do fine. I suspect I'll be able to do both when I'm 77 only if my casket is equipped with casters.
You're doing the citizens' ride next year to Lotoja, and Viking and I will rest to watch YOU. And I didn't know you were almost seventy. I kinda thought you looked like a well preserved fifty something. Good to know I have something aspire to at your advanced seniority.
