How about you fly me down ... and we will ride them again!  I'll carry the gear and make coffee! :D

On a serious, though less desirable note, if you have any of the US cycling assoc maps, I'd be very interested.  There is this itch, I'm getting.

Salute, Ian! I probably should do the same to my old Forest Service maps that go back to 1939 or so, but I can't bear to. They show "dangerous locations" that have since been scrubbed from the maps "for the public good"(?). Allkindsa interesting places now largely unknown.

I know more than a few, like Hell Hole and the Devil's Staircase:

Best of luck on the sale!

Don't things that you got new when you were a teen-ager have any sentimental value Dan? You should hold on to those.  ;)

I look remarkably young and vital for my age, Pavel.  ;D

All the best,

Dan.

I've heard that if you ride your bike every day for a hundred years, you will live a long life.

 ;D Hahaha! That might just be true, Dave!  ;D

My father lived to just a month shy of his 98th birthday and was convinced (along with his doctors) that cycling was a big contributor to his longevity in relative good health. He was touring in the back-of-beyond with me through his 74th birthday and riding on day trips for some time after that.

On a riverside walk last year, he told me he might live to be 110. Okay, but what happens then? "I'll re-evaluate".

All the best,

Dan.  (...who hopes to be so fortunate)

Funny (and prescient in regards to Dan) you should say that ...   http://adventure-journal.com/2016/05/historical-badass-endurance-cyclist-billie-fleming/
