40 miles R/T, ~1800 feet of climbing
18 miles R/T, ~1200 feet of climbing
39 miles R/T, ~2000 feet of climbing

Main bike was a Titanium cross bike that I continually upgraded. I put well over 70,000 miles on that frame. I don't miss anything about working, but I really miss bike commutting.
It sounds like you need to integrate cycling into your retired life. Maybe not just “cycling” or “going for a ride”, but ride places instead of driving. Shopping, Dr. appointments. Other errands.
