Touring in your 20's vs your 40's

[Oneanne]

I started going in my mid-30's and am now in my early 60's. My touring style and stamina have both changed... I used to be 100% commando but would rarely make it past dinner time, before I had to crawl back to the resort. Now I keep a relaxed pace, take a mid-day resort break and then go back out in the evening, although there are times when these old feet ache so much I don't get going again. But overall, even with the slower pace I probably do more because I last longer.
