I also feel like a 17 year-old. But I feel more like an improved version of my 17 year-old self. I now ride with an overall plan and care more about my health and my safety.
I was able to lose 50 pounds since I started cycling (again) at age 50. It took 5 years, but the combination of eliminating junk food and riding 4000 miles a year is very powerful.

When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.
