Random11 It IS remarkable. The further north of 50 you go, the more remarkable each adventure or accomplishment is.
You said that you started riding again 5 years ago for fitness after a 40 year break. How many people fail to stick with their fitness plan for even a month?
And now you expanded beyond your routine and rode for transportation, and I assume also for the joy of riding.
We can't know everyone's circumstances,but if it was remarkable for you, that's good enough for me!
So well, done! Don't let anyone steal your bliss. Ride your ride and enjoy it!
I for one look forward to reading about your further adventures.
go, Go, GO!
