“Bike Traveler” Austin, 2019
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today our friend’s dad completed an epic bicycle journey: Los Angeles to Austin! It took him a little over 40 days, but 72-year-old Yoshi rode up to family and friends welcoming him at the steps of the Texas State Capitol. It was a wonderful scene, and I was happy to be able to attend. He is a real inspiration!
I often forget that I also completed a long bicycle ride (when I was in junior high): San Francisco to Los Angeles. It was a YMCA trip and I think it took about 8 or 9 days, camping each night. I’d love to do another long bicycle ride sometime… I’ll keep it in the back of my mind. But for now, let’s celebrate Yoshi’s great accomplishment!

That’s quite the accomplishment! And to do it at 70? I can only hope that I’m even remotely close to being in that kind of shape when I’m that age.
