I'm wondering if any of you have had similar experiences, and what your thoughts are.

That's a great book! I was so taken with the description of Slow Food meals. Those Italians!

I, too, slowed down several years ago, once I started riding alone. For years, I was able to keep up with some pretty strong riders, but I found I wasn't enjoying "group" riding as much as riding by myself or with my (much slower) wife. I still ride lots of miles, but I don't rush to get anywhere anymore and I REALLY enjoy every second of every ride.
