John Merrow has challenged himself annually to bike the same number of miles as his birthday years.
With every passing year, the target gets higher and the body gets older.
He turns 78 on June 14. He jumped to a slightly early beginning. He did it!
Accompanied by his daughter, he biked 78 miles.
One of them is the Network for Public Education.
Thank you, John, and congratulations!
Here is to your doing a repeat performance for many years!
Yay for Merrow!
Fantastic job!!! I’m only 75 and I doubt I’d able to bike 75 miles. UGH. Carol
Pretty impressive!!!
He’s a few months older than I am. I am an avid biker too.
He should have put his bike on a bike rack behind the car and driven around with it. That way people would have been impressed and he would not have had to exert energy.
Great hobby, biking. We are longtime supporters of rails to trails. Two of my dreams are to one day ride the Cowboy trail in Nebraska and the Katy in Missouri.
