Good job everyone. I feel humbled.
You shouldn't compare to others. Is 197 your best? Did you feel good about yourself? Did you have a great time? Good, you win for you!
Some people a 10 miler is a warm up, some it is a personal best.
You did awesome and you did it with enthusiam I haven't had for the road lately. I feel humbled by you because you have this gleeful joy when you describe every ride. That is something some of us old timers need to hear. And all us who did more than 197 can remember our days of 197 being a milestone.

ETA- Wow you are riding after heart stents? I am always inspired by those who take control after learning their health needs to be improved! My Pawpaw did the opposite and left us too soon with a massive heart attack. I wish he had walked, got a bike, did anything that might have bought him one more week, month, year. Be very proud of yourself and every one of those miles.
