At a certain age, some men buy a sports car, and some try to pull girls half their age.
Not having the money for the former, or the charisma and money for the latter, I met my mid-life crisis by just trying to prove I have not yet competely lost it, and cycled from Lands End to John 'Groats in just under 7 days.
Worst bit was cycling 146 miles into a headwind, 3 inches of rain, and through various flooded areas on Monday 25th June 2007 (I will never forget that date!).
Best bit was just about everything else. Great scenery, great support and humour from a relay team of friends (and wife!) driving my support vehicle, sense of achievement completing the ride, and nice to have the means to extort a good amount of money for a great cause
