  Hello John,

  riding
  > hard!  We swapped stories for two hours and looked at bikes...

  I spent an afternoon with Bob earlier this year when he was investigating
  GPSes for his bike. My wife and I were both amazed that he was 78 because he
  could easily pass for 65. He definitely rides hard, having recently come off
  a trip to the west cost having done 19,000 km (I believe) in 21 days. I'm
  hooking up with him this weekend to tour the Laurentian mountains. He's a
  dynamite guy, but if I were to fault him, I'd honestly have to say he's too
  modest. No, I am not joking.
