Heading Into 2025 With Some Relatively Easy Cycling Plans

I was a Sophomore in college back in 1985 when the movie Back to the Future came out. Back then -- as a 20-year-old -- I viewed Marty McFly's going into the year 2015 as something far in the future. By then, I would be 50 years old! Well, here we are... heading into 2025 and in three months I'll be 60. As I've shared on my Instagram and Facebook accounts, my 60's will primarily consist of cycling for fitness. I plan to explore more of our nation's rails-to-trails. I want to cycle the 240-mile Katy Trail across Missouri, but am going to put that one on hold a little longer as I explore some other trails with the limited days I have available from the office in 2025.

This has been another year when cancer has made an invasion into our family. I remember doing some running events in the 1990's to raise funds to fight cancer (including the Relay for Life event), and it is an ongoing battle that so many people face. It is a disease that has impacted both my family and my wife's family -- but thankfully not the family that Kelley and I have together.

I am currently praying about where my wheels will turn in 2025. I'll let you know what the Lord places on my heart.

Gotta Roll,

Paul J. Staso
