So totally agree, @Biker Man, that's my “go to” speed and mindset. Nice and easy and enjoy the ride and the outdoors. At 65 years old, and not part of any club, I rarely feel the need to push myself to exhaustion, but do it now and then for the fun of it. Even though I track my rides, I usually do it for the mileage, not for the time. I do not pause my tracker when I stop to take pictures of wildlife or interesting things along the way. As with sailing, the enjoyment is in the journey, not in reaching the destination.I think it was President John F Kennedy who said nothing gives as much pleasure as a simple bicycle ride .So true for me how about you all.
I also totally agree with @ebikeerwidnes about the feel of wind in sails, either sailing dinghies or windsurfers. I have owned and had loads of fun with both. When the wind fills a sail just right, a smile instantly comes to your face. But now no longer living near any large bodies of water, I am very happy with nice trails and safe roads to ride bikes on.
Share some pics sometime. My pics from this side of the pond are never as beautiful and interesting as those from your side. They are always welcome and enjoyable.
