Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wow, that's a long time. Hang in there.
I guess you will have to binge watch old cycling videos in your man cave.

Finally got my wife's friend's hubby out on a (recovery) ride. He's ducked ride invites for years, despite much talk about riding/racing and even entering a CAT5 race (and being spit OTB). His wife had recently bought a road bike, herself, so I thought it would be devilish to send them a group text for either/both to join me, figuring that he'd have a harder time declining with her watching. It worked. Took a nice, easy ride with a few MN "hills," which he did just fine on (he's a strong runner). We'll see if this will have broken the ice enough to get him out on more rides in the future. He could probably be a reasonably strong rider if taken out of his comfort zone a bit, but we'll see.
