That's awesome. My grandpa is 74 and just rode his bmw from so cal all the way to British Columbia and hit some dirt along the way as well. He used to smoke my a$$ when I was a teenager and when he was still riding his xr600. I give the the old timers props for sure
Yep. I miss Colby Johnson and Al Nurian out at McCain Valley. Colby is about 80 now and Al is probably 84. Colby used to come out and ride his KTM set up sort of like a trials bike, and then Al would drive out in his old truck with a four stroke Montesa trials bike in the camper shell. He'd get out and unfold his walker, unload his bike. Then Colby would kick start it for him, and he'd lean his walker against the truck and shuffle over to his bike, get on, stand up and off they'd go for an afternoon of rock crawling. Colby would always be there for Al, to pick Al and his bike up after a fall. The spring of 2015 was the last time I saw either of them out at the riding area. After that, no more. So I e-mailed Colby and asked if everything was alright. He replied that Al was stuck at home now, in poor health. Colby also said that he moved on from his KTM to a mountain bicycle that he could ride near his house. Al and his Montesa.
That's sad to hear that he's had to give up but nab oh man that is giving it as long as you possibly can to continue riding.
Stay riding it's great exercise. Keeps you in shape. Your working every muscle group. Remember all we do as we get older is wick it and brake it. It's surviving the ride. When I gave up riding my body went down hill. When I was riding three to four times a week I was in the best shape of my life. You have to love life and life will love you back enjoy the ride life goes by so fast. Slow down take a kid riding.
