I'm 49, work 40 hrs, and play video games maybe 10-20 hrs per week, drink a beer or three most days, and still manage to also ride about 80-100 miles per week. Work, gaming, beer, and riding are not all mutually exclusive. For me and my empty-nest lifestyle, they can all be done quite easily in the same day. My motivation to ride is simply because I like to ride and the feeling of continuous fitness improvements I get from it, AND that it helps me not gain weight from sitting around drinking and playing games, LOL. I think you already identified your motivation, now you just need the self-discipline to get out there and do it.
