I know that feeling!
What makes me chuckle is when I am pushing my limit on a long climb and someone on a Walmart bike wearing jeans and no helmet comes blasting by me. That inner laugh is at myself for sometimes getting delusional at my abilities. So whether you ride fast, slow, often or occasionally, and whether it is a casual ride or a brutal workout, does not matter. Go have fun and be glad that you actually can ride. Many people cannot.;
I so understand about the flyby. I was doing my pre-work 5 mile spin yesterday morning and thought I was clicking along on the Sligo Creek Parkway, when all of a sudden here comes a younger guy on an old 10-speed, and ZIP! As soon as we had said our hellos, he was gone. I had the same reaction as you, just really happy that I could be out there still able to ride. I won’t be setting any world records, but I am OK with that.
Happy riding! ~ Les
