FOCUS - MAY 2015 41 end of the journey was very emotional for Liz. A tough act to follow that cross-Canada tour but Liz and Bob already have their sights set on future explorations. In 2015 were going to spend 8-10 weeks traveling New Zealand top to bottom. Now that Liz is retired our times less limited. And well travel the Quebec City and Gaspe areas. Quebecs roads are by far the best. The provincial government has invested signifi- cantly in what they call Route Verte and draw cyclists from everywhere. Not surprisingly Bob is a strong advocate of cycling as a form of exercise regardless of age or fitness level. Riding a bike is low-aerobic so knees and joints dont take the pounding they would if you ran. Just three hours of cycling a week three hours can cut the risk of heart attack or stroke in half and help fight diabetes. Its social too you can do it with a partner or group and thats made biking the new golf. If you can walk you can bike Their example goes to show its never too late. In their sixties now Bob and Liz remain physically active and enthusiastic about an activity which has allowed them to combine companionship sightseeing and vigourous exercise. For those who might consider taking up biking though perhaps around the neigh- bourhood rather than across the country theres also a charm to revisiting a childhood pleasure. It requires minimal investment and no special training to regain a skill which might be dormant but not forgotten. As the saying goes its just like riding a bike.
