2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

[Stefan Mikes]

I was waiting for your first acoustic ride, Rab!

I usually do not offer birthday wishes to anyone as:

• Getting older sucks
• Birth day is a day like any other

We should wish one another all the best on any single day and all year long! And you Chris know the best I am fond of you very much!
Besides, you could do a simple 63 (!!!) mile road ride just to prove you can still do it You know, ECO, two batteries...

65 here (1961).

Happy birthday, Charge!

Stefan, I felt very much the same way you did until my medical emergency last summer when my heart stopped for 10 minutes.

Now I have two birthdays-- and we plan to celebrate both every year!

I'm in the final lap of 68 years old... but also one year old. I expect nothing but total and complete acceptance for any and all future immaturity!

I'm just back on the bike from a wrist injury, and hope to add some ride reports soon... though I might toss in something from my usual acoustic adventures on the Raleigh Competition in NYC this summer, right before the injury.
