Cycling 80 @ 80
« on: August 26, 2012, 01:59:16 pm »
From my friend's Facebook page: "My dad at the finish line at MS bike tour "Biking to the Viking"! 80km from Stonewall to Gimli...He will be 80 years young in October!!! So proud of him, my sister Cor, nieces and nephews that also did the tour!"

Impressive to say the least.

yeah, his 80 year old  dad  is having "twice" the fun of most 40 year olds.

Congats to Winklovics dad and family.

It was a friend's father that accomplished the feat but I'm sure he'd appreciate the congrats.  :)

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

That's awesome! Doesn't look anywhere near 80 at all!

For some more inspirational people, I read about Todd Love recently, and this race...
