What has been done before on a bicycle is no parameter for new cycling tours. The truth is that age does play a role. My fitness level has plummeted, that, or my need for touring is too big. Come to think of it, to get fit I would need to built up cycling time, and I haven’t. By the time I am well in the mountains I am not much of a cyclist yet. Or am I?
Since my late 30’s I started to desire my own home but it was a mild desire. Traveling always had the priority, until I reached the 45 and it became obvious I spend more time in camp spots than on the bicycle. Now that Geo and I have an own home, including 4 cats (accidently 3 too many) I find it remarkable that the pull to get back home and water-bath my tomatoes is rather strong.
Is the limit based on being-away time before this homely pull kicks in, or is it the destination that we set which has been reached?
