We don't need a label, re. touring or cycling or whatever. With a bit of assist my better half can continue cycling and maybe spend a bit of time at the top of the hill waiting for me. I look forward to it.
All lives are full of circumstances that are beyond our control be it physical, mental, financial, social, etc. It's the human condition. Enjoy!
