Welcome to "Cycling Over Sixty," the podcast that celebrates the adventurous spirit and tenacity of cyclists who are thriving in their sixties and beyond. In this episode, join our host, Tom, as he takes you on an audio journey from the long-awaited Seattle to Portland (STP) ride, a two day 206-mile cycling pilgrimage.
But this episode isn't just about Tom's journey; it's also about the experiences of his two companions, Garren and Jesse, who rode along to support him every pedal of the way. Together, they embarked on an adventure that showcased the power of camaraderie and shared passions.
Tom shares his personal triumphs and challenges along the way, offering a raw and inspiring account of his epic journey. For Tom, this was no ordinary bike ride; it was the culmination of a challenge that began last November and has been building anticipation ever since.
But that's not all – towards the end of the episode, Tom shares interviews conducted by Jesse with some of the people they met along the road. These inspiring encounters showcase the stories of fellow cyclists and individuals who have overcome their own obstacles, reinforcing the message that the journey is about more than just reaching the destination – it's about the people you meet and the connections you make along the way.
Whether you're an avid cyclist yourself or simply seeking motivation to pursue your passions later in life, Tom, Garren, and Jesse's tale of conquering the STP ride will leave you feeling energized, motivated, and eager to embrace new challenges.
