Sounds similar to weather up here in Vancouver, BC. today. I did 55 kms. which is abit less than you. Included our weekend grocery shopping at market. Then after dropping off our fresh whole fish, we cycled off to our favourite Japanese supermarket and bought their freshly made sushi, sashimi and miso soup for a big lunch.

Cyclinggal in our region there is a cycling group that does long rides ie. trips of several hundred kms. each year. Alot of the participants are older..ie. early 50's up to 70's. Do you have such a group in your area? Cycling is taken up by many folks in their mid years and onward.

My partner has gone on 2 different rides himself with the group. There were women in your age bracket there. I'll try to find the group's website. I still work..he was retired for a few happy years..but now semi-retired, starting up his own business at 65 yrs. I truly think he's abit nuts but it is his passion and an extension of his many years of cycling advocacy. On planning cycling facilities for various organizations, primarily govn't.
