How instructive that number is, again, depends on a lot of factors. Wind, elevation changes, urban v. rural. I stopped measuring cadence a while ago and wouldn't use it again unless I was doing cadence intervals (which I don't do). It generally doesn't tell me anything my legs/lungs can't tell me. I'm not saying that you shouldn't measure it, but I'd challenge you to ride a few times without looking at it during or after the ride and tell me if you feel like you're really missing something.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
