I love cycling. Did my first solo touring cycling trip over ten years ago when I was in my twenties. I've done a cycling trip every couple of years since then, until I got a mortgage. Then I started focusing on my career and kept delaying the next trip, thinking "next year will be the year that I'll make time for it". Now I'm approaching my 40s, I have a medical condition that limits the enjoyment I get out of cycling, and due to covid travel restrictions I can't travel to the country I want to cycle in.

Don't delay.

It used to make me sad that by the time my kids were old enough to cycle up big mountains, I might be too old/unfit to join them... but the massive growth in the last few years of electric bikes (mountain and road) makes me really excited that I actually might be able to keep up. I don't know if e-bikes would help given your condition, but if you haven't tried one, it might be worth a shot - they're amazing

Oh gosh :/ I’ve been delaying my trip to Asia for 3 years. I can’t eat spicy food like I used to now (or even drink and party). I want to believe I’ll be doing it next year but…
