My back pack is almost ready for the start of the Appalachian Trail. I’ve been in conditioning mode for the last month doing lots of biking, walking with a small pack and now, biking and hiking with the full pack. Before the sun comes up I’m on my bike with my full pack and hiking stick for a 4mile bike ride and then a 4 mile walk to the end of the bridge to Pigon Key. 
My step off date is only 6 weeks away and I’m getting a bit antsy and worried. At 56+ years old am I still capable of a challenge of this magnitude? All of the books that I’ve read about the trail talk about the large elevation gains and drops that occur in the first 500 miles of the trail. I hope and pray that I’m able to complete this journey.
