But biking is my passion and I spend many hours/month in the saddle. I may still pull the trigger if the opportunity hasn't passed.
No apologies needed. You seem to have fortunate circumstances in your lfe and it seems that you are aware of them and grateful for them.
I say: ENJOY THEM!
.... Don't waste them (which it is clear that you don't) -- but don't disavow them either!
Best of luck with your dream...
