David, at 30-40 miles per week, you would be in good shape to ride it without undue difficulty. Some people don't ride all the way and as usual the " I can't" is more mental than physical. What I mean is that some people only ride part of the way each day or they trade off with their spouse or buddy driving a support vehicle. You do what you can and its all better than doing nothing at all. I'm just happy to see these people in their late 70's and into their 80's getting out and doing. Its all good. There are also many riding who were once way overweight and want to turn their life around so they do, drop 100 or more pounds, get rid of the diabetes, get rid of the hip and knee problems, etc. Everyone is very encouraging for whatever miles they can do and pretty soon they are going the distance.
This year's wild pheasant crop should be one of the best. We didn't get any late freezes or broad hailstorms, its been wet enough for good insects for the broods, and there was good carryover. We hunted last Jan and still saw hundreds of pheasants.
