Patricia, I'm delighted to connect with you again and to have you join the community! I just checked on Facebook, and it looks like we first connected there back in 2014.

I also just read your recent post on Medium:

I'm glad your body has let you know that you're a young 66 and that you can still enjoy those incredibly long road rides. Jeesh!

Is it also whispering to you that you can keep learning new skills, MTB-related or otherwise?

Hey, Griff, we are old acquaintances, truly! And your MTB Geezer so helped me with mastering my first mtb skills! That was amazing! And then I got to meet Chris Carter when I did a bikepacking trip in Queensland, Australia. You and Chris sure made it possible for me to go for ultra-distance bikepacking and have lots of fun with it, even when going down tricky hills in the middle of the night!! So again, thank you for all that, and I'm a living proof that your online projects & ground-breaking enterprises are a HUGE empowerment for people like me. And yes, my body is looking forward to learning new skills, always!!

Thanks for your kind comments, Patricia. And I'm delighted that you're still interested in learning new skills -- and along with that, getting better at knowing how to practice I presume, just like me! I'm looking forward to your participation.
