I am 64, and I thought that I was gonna die, at a few points in my escapade. But I done it. There is something in me that won't relent, that is all I know.
Note: I was a Boy Scout myself, it really helped to set me on a good path. And it matters to me, to this day.
You've got about 20 years on me and I don't think I could currently ride that many miles so more power to ya!
