Even if it is just 5 miles… the day after a good ride on my bicycle and all seems possible. The years drop away and new adventures seem right around the corner. One day of joy could be a month or a year. A ride across town can turn into a continent or even the world. Turn a few pedals and one can go on forever…
Good to hear about your riding. I have never stopped riding. I find though that my riding goes in spells. One month I ride regularly at least 4 or 5 miles a day and other times I may go a week and only ride around the block.
