if you were a ninety year old biker, where would you go?

This is a really odd question. What prompted it?\n\nHowever, I'll have a go at an answer:\n\nWhere would I go on a bicycle at the age of 90? Probably to the pub and back - painful for my arthritis one way, but anaesthetised by the booze, it would be heaven wobbling back.\n\nCovering 1220 miles a day - I'd make the pub a bar in the Umbrian hills and I'd fly and then taxi me and the bike to within a couple of miles of the bar. I'd then wobble up in style, ask for a beer and tell them truthfully, I'd just cycled in from across the continent (old codgers can say that kind of thing, especially in the pub).

What location would you "scope out" if you could go anywhere?

I think the longest stretch of bike path on the peninsula and along the bay runs from Milbrae (just South of SFO) to Redwood Shores or Redwood City. Check out the maps at the below URL.

you could try Chino Hills state park in orange county or crystal cove. Whiting ranch is another possibility, as are the Snta Anna Mountains if youb are into serious climbs.\nSanta Barbara has some good oes if you like major epics.\nA good way to find them in your area is by using Trails.com or talking to your local bike shop.\nOther good sources are the books 100 Best Trails in Southern California, Mountain Biking in Orange County, Mountain Biking in the Santa Monica Mountains etc. Try a search on Amazon or ask a good bike shop or even in places like Sports Chalet.\nGood luck and have fun, as there is some pretty good ridig in So Cal.\nP.S. Dont forget Big Bear and Mamouth

Just about anywhere as long as you have an ORV sticker.The bike doesn't need to be street legal and as long as you stay off the U.S. and state highways you are good to go.

Having not approached retirement age and not know what you might like to do in retirement, I thought I'd just throw a few cool ideas out there that I like to spend time near. \n\nScottsdale, Az  - A suburb of the Phoenix area and common retirement location. Nearly never a cloud in the sky, save the monsoon season in early fall/late summer. Temperatures get SCORCHING during the summer days but is ideal during colder months if you like your fun in the sun. Mountains, Grand Canyon, and Mexico all within 3 hours driving time. \n\nSan Diego, CA - Again, sunny almost year round! My brother visits me in the midwest from there on occasion and completely freaks out in thunderstorms because he literally never sees them. Of course you might get an occasional earthquake...no place is perfect. Can't beat having a beach near by. Year round temperatures from 50-78 as a high. Mexico, LA, Vegas, and Sequoia redwood forest all within 5ish hours drive. \n\nColorado Springs, CO - Beautiful Mountains and forest recreation in a small town feel with big town advantages. Only a couple hours from Denver and just a few more to Rio Grande National Forest and Taos, NM. If the outdoors and a little cooler temperature is your thing, this is place is beautiful, friendly, and quiet. \n\nSonoma County, CA - Wine country and San Francisco. The Russian River meets rocky shores of the Pacific and the Northern Redwoods start to be dominant in the mountain forests. Lots of culture and great food & drink!\n\nSpringfield, MO - ONe of the most inexpensive places to live in a growing community (200,000+) that holds on to its small town roots. KC, St. Louis and Tulsa all 3 hours or less and its centered in the US enough to make for easy travel to any part of the country with a welcome atmosphere to come home too. \n\nThere's a few places that had a good "feel" to them when I had a chance to visit the east coast, but I'm not sure I know enough about them to give a good description, but thought I'd list them all the same:\n\nBoston, Mass - A neat big city with a great accent!\n\nLong Island, NY - for my girlfriend, shes just too fond of it to be all bad! Really though, ocean side on all ends and a few stone throws away from the Big Apple. Can even catch some wine country to the east. \n\nFlorida?  Not been but it seems a common place....personally I think its too crime ridden and overrun by hurricanes for me\n\nSo, theres 8ish, think I'll leave it at that....happy retirement!!!!

Definitely go to The Dells; there are a lot of them there...along with a lot of go-cart tracks.  There is just a lot of fun stuff to do there.
