Host Tom Butler shares a rundown of where Cycling Over Sixty stands today and how much the show has grown since its beginnings. As part of that update, Tom introduces the Cycling for Active Aging Network, a Pierce County partnership designed to reach adults over 55 who are physically inactive by adapting existing cycling programs to be more welcoming to older adults who are sedentary and maybe have never thought of themselves as cyclists.

Then Tom has a conversation with Mark Altman, a military veteran preparing to ride 3,000 miles from Edinburgh to Athens on a recumbent bike with his service dog Juno along for the journey. Mark is using the ride to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project through a Virtual Soldier Ride. It's a conversation about what long days in the saddle can do for a person, and about why, at 61, Mark is choosing to take on something this big.
