Plenty Left started with a pretty simple realisation:
I’m not done yet. Not even close.
I’m in my 50s, and somewhere along the way I started thinking more seriously about the years ahead.
Not in a morbid way. Quite the opposite.
I started thinking about all the places I still want to see. Roads I haven't ridden. Trips I haven't taken. Things I haven't tried. And the kind of health, strength and mindset I'll need if I actually want to do them.
That became Plenty Left.
There’s Plenty Left.
Explore. Stay Capable. Live Well.
Those three ideas sit at the heart of Plenty Left.
Explore means getting out there.
Big adventures are great, but they don't all need passports, expensive equipment or months of planning. Sometimes an adventure is simply taking the road you normally drive past.
Stay Capable is about looking after the machine that makes all of this possible.
I'm interested in strength, mobility, fitness and staying physically useful as I get older — not because I'm chasing a perfect body, but because I want a body capable of doing interesting things for a long time yet.
Live Well is everything around it.
Good food. Good people. Curiosity. Experiences. Slowing down occasionally. Challenging yourself occasionally. And being a little more deliberate about how you spend your time.
I'm figuring it out too.
Plenty Left isn't me standing on a mountain telling everyone else how to live.
I'm not a longevity guru, travel expert or motivational speaker.
I'm just a bloke who's realised that time becomes increasingly valuable as you get older — and I don't particularly want to waste mine.
So I'll share the places I go, things I try, bikes I ride, ways I train, lessons I learn and probably a few things that don't go according to plan.
If some of it encourages you to book the trip, take the walk, get stronger, try something new or simply get off the couch one Saturday morning, even better.
Because whatever number happens to be on the birthday cake…
there's still Plenty Left.
This isn't about trying to be 25 again.
I have no interest in pretending I'm younger than I am.
I want to get better at being the age I am — while making sure getting older doesn't become an excuse to stop exploring, learning, challenging myself or having a bloody good time.
For me, that might mean jumping on a motorcycle with no particular destination in mind.
Getting stronger in the gym.
Walking somewhere I've never been.
Taking a road trip.
Learning a new skill.
Finding a great little place to eat.
Travelling somewhere completely unfamiliar.
Or occasionally doing something that makes me wonder why the hell I agreed to it.
That's the stuff I want more of.
