I recently heard on the radio that flossing everyday will add five years to your life. I'm perplexed. My dentist tells me it's important... but five years?
Before heading back to work fulltime after being an independent contractor and traveling like crazy for five years (another way to add years to your life, although climbing Everest twice probably wiped that out), I joined a weeklong Backroads bike trip in Alaska. It was a last-minute decision, booked a month before departure. I very very badly rode my bike just once within the last six months to prepare, so there was some saddle soreness happening, but still lots of fun bike riding.

If you are considering cycling in Alaska, I highly recommend it. Despite the 21 mile, 3,250 elevation gain in pouring rain on our first day, it was a beautiful place to ride many miles. We also had quite a group of strong, inspirational 60-somethings that could kick serious u-no-what up those hills.
I pledge to not let another six months go before my next ride. In fact, I've already ridden once since getting back and I'm signed up for the Tour of Napa.
