Very nice and well stated . Happy Birthday and I’m so glad that you were able to get that ride in. I’m not far behind you in years, this year I will turn 68 , but I won’t be riding 68 miles or….maybe not. You may have inspired me to do so! I do get the whole mental floss of riding my bike. The bike, the road , the adventure, and ,yes , the thrill. Even while struggling up that last hill to my home I feel the same joy that attracted me to cycling when I was young. Thank you for sharing.
