Brilliant article. After 25+ years of riding the shore I'm sure there have been times when it didn't blow my mind - but if there was I sure don't remember them. It's possible that as much as the trail doesn't noticed you've been away, given enough time you might not even remember.
Now that I'm a few short years from a half century on this planet I'm realizing my time on the shore does in fact have an end. Whenever I'm in my car waiting for a red light to turn green and see a group of middle aged dudes in spandex lined up along the curb next to me I think "is that what it'll come to?". That thought alone gets me back on the trail.
