Bloke,
What do I say. I'm 33, and today had a long chat with a man about turning my (seemingly) paltry 200 odd hours into something worthwhile and sustainable. If you want, we can race! Hope to see you @ QF one day.
I'm greatly heartened by all the replies above, and can only wish you well.
"Sound, sound the clarion,
Fill the fife,
Throughout the sensual world proclaim -
One crowded hour of glorious life,
Is worth an age without a name."
