Absolutely beautiful!

"but I think the attitude change that allowed me to buy it IS the answer." - it's almost impossible to have a bad day when your face (and sometimes unexpected parts as well, hehe) is in the wind.

Congrats on the purchase and getting back to riding. I've been tempted myself, especially when I get a chance to borrow the daughter-in-law's bike, because if it's in your blood, you never get over it.

Looking forward to reading about your adventures and seeing the pictures!
