Mostly vertical, and not leaking any fluids.

I'd like to have a Ph.D. But it is hard to gather the energy and motivation to leave my current steady state and commit to likely 5 years of difficult study and work.

I'd like to be flying for Delta Air Lines or Alaska Airlines and living in a more cycling-friendly place than Virginia Beach, VA.

It's not hard for me to imagine living, working and riding in the Pacific Northwest of the US given the pictures people post from there.

You could fly the Seattle/Cabo route. I could loan you a bike when you're here.

10 years? In a different career, out of the corporate rat race. Still with my lovely wife. And still racing bikes (or at least fast enough to pretend from time to time). I'd also like to be living somewhere with mountains, but that's a long shot.

Mountains..... Yes.

Raising a good 14 year-old and a good 16 year-old. Anything else pales next to that.

[David Tollefson]

What I'd like and what is realistic are, unfortunately, two very different things. But I'll go to my death bed knowing I did what was right by my family.

[mjbabcock]

Anyone else here make it happen? I mean xjoex looks to have it figured out, people born in the alps chose their parents well, joostyx is in a magnificent spot.

Who else has managed to navigate the want/reality balance to the point they aren't looking at the green grass over there?

[Mabouya]

Living in the perfect continental US location for a retired road cyclist. (Retired from full-time work, not from the bike.) Still haven't figured out where that is.

Any suggestions?

When you find out, let me know. US locations seem to be in the Pacific Northwest from all the pics I've seen. In Europe it seems like southern France is even better.

Finding a cycling utopia should be a high priority!

[joosttx]

Teaching biology at a community college, so in love with my wife, coaching basketball and softball or whatever the kids do, and riding my bike. Yes, retired at 50.

Wearing flip flops a lot of the time

PhD's are easy. just do it!

We were very lucky to live where we do. It was a goal of mine for about 8 years. Both my wife and I were able to move and still work for our respective companies and receive promotions. To be honest moving without family support or knowing anyone with two little kids was very tough. Don't let the pictures fool you. :)

[Nierman]

Well, in Aug we are headed back out to our current favorite area of Colorado. This time we'll be studying several dirt cheap plots of cheap dirt to perhaps buy soon then build a small second-home/vacation-rental cabin on 10 years from now. Key is to keep simple, small and liquid in case of life's inevitable emergencies.

[ldamelio]

Retired, grandchildren - towing them around in a Burley behind a ceratin lugged steel bike that should be mine in about 2-3 years, playing with them on the beach, etc. Not miss them growing up like I did with my kids. Still living in same area, maybe same house or smaller version of same. Cold months (Jan-Feb) somewhere warm and different every year. Got 2-3 languages to learn, a couple of hobbies I want to pursue instead of dabble (fishing, and believe it or not, R/C planes). Lots of travel to see the world, give my wife the attention the job has taken over the years. Global fitness (yoga/strength, etc) instead of only cycling. Cooking a lot, maybe after some serious classes/courses to do it right. And of course, still riding and racing. No whining about my job and lifestyle holding me back. Look for me finally near the front of a race in the 65's at 2025 Nationals.

[SpeedyChix]

Remaining NED, healthy and fit, continuing to enjoy life with my best friend & husband, and continued fun with the grandkids as they grow up.
[Having grandkids via a stepson makes the little ones really fun.]
