Yes. Yes I did ride, and I'm very happy - 17+ miles, low-mid 70s, E/SE wind 5-10 mph. I look down at my hands, and I see the beginnings of tans in the big spot not covered by my gloves. I'm using crocheted gloves now, and I'm looking forward to the small checkerboard tan showing up.
As I approach 80, I'm dealing with the emotional fallout of crossing over into what I can't deny is old age. On one hand, it's finally getting through to me that younger people probably think I crossed that line years ago. OTOH, I guess I'm an OPIL, and to those who don't like seeing old people in lycra, tough.
