Life is kind of like a road with a lot of forks, and sometimes you find your way back onto a path you were meant to be on. I really feel like I’m back in this, enjoying it, and passionate for the long haul. I do have aspirations to race in events like Grinduro, Eroica, BWR, and complete my first brevet, but I’m just really happy to have reconnected with cycling for both fitness, mental fitness, and overall enjoyment reasons.

Fantastic post. I hope there are others like you. The more cyclists on the road, the better.
