Congratulations - I'm so happy you are having a great time. And getting healthier to boot!
Cycling definitely = rejuvenation for me, too. Riding is sheer joy for me most times. Last summer, while running an errand on my commuter, the clouds rolled in and it started to rain a warm, sloppy rain, and it felt GREAT. Like being a little kid again.
Riding definitely opens you up to so many things. Keep it up. You won't regret it.

Rejuvenation for me too, Catrin!
I've been riding for fitness for just on a year now. I've dropped two dress sizes, have so much more energy, and can handle the stresses and strains of everyday life with something approaching equanimity.
Now, I identify myself as a cyclist, as it's such a core part of my life.
In fact, my DH is so impressed with my new-found cycling fitness he's taking it up too. He wants to get fit enough so he can ride the Otago Rail Trail in NZ with me for my 50th birthday. Can't wait!
Keep on riding and having fun, and thanks for the inspirational post!
