I am soooo feeling this. Right on.

No I don't want to go to work, wash dishes, tidy up, blah blah blah....just me on the bike and the mountain. Period. If my body and more importantly, finances allowed me, I would do that every day.

I have grown to not only value but actually like being totally unattached....no DH/DGF, no kids, etc. Rarely do I go out friday nights or stay up late for example, all because I care infinitely more about riding almost all day on weekends.

Seems the older, hopefully wiser, I've gotten the more I care about how I spend my time. Most other things (ie....work) feel like a distraction, diversion from what really matters.

And what matters?

Just me and the mountain baby

So to your question....you are most definitely not alone
