Spending a week in the hospital gets you thinking about these things.
I am receiving care from a large team of the best doctors in the province (Socialised healthcare FTW). They feel confident that they can return me to near perfect health.
So when i get out i am not going to waste any more time. I am going to start crossing off the items that are physically demanding. I now know how quickly a person can go from peak condition, to near death. I'm not going to allow myself to miss any more opportunities when i get my second chance.
But I'd like to hear about your list. I may steal some of your ideas if they sound good.
What I've got so far:
1: no limitation, unified rules MMA match against someone i can not beat.
2; drive a dual sport motorcycle north untill the roads end, then keep going for a few more days, and camp.
3: dip my tire in the Pacific ocean, then drive east until i can dip it in the Atlantic.
4: visit Europe. Not the tourist areas though, but travel the small towns and see the Euros in their natural habitats.
5-10: all non-physical so they can wait a bit.
I think you would have more a feeling of total freedom then when riding a bike. I never picked up bikeriding cause I like speed to much and would probalby wreck myself, but I imagine it feels pretty good. I also preder none moterised adrenaline for some reason.
I both ski and snowboard, depending on the weather/snow conditions i switch. Snowboard pwns heavily in powder though.
I mainly skied in the Alpes and even did a season in a French resort while I was a student. Alpes has some of the best Piste skiing in the world and the powder possibilities are great, but spoiled within hours or a few days due to heavy tourism and very crowded resorts.
I know it's expensive but you would be in fresh powder the whole time laying your own tracks. Endless amount of fresh tracks..... /starts to drool.... IMO riding powder is about the best feeling in the world
