Wow, channelluv what a cool love story meeting! And featured on ABC. And now both of you have additional discovery for love of cycling together. Just great.

Someone else commented on this thread:
Isn't that the truth? They always say that you'll meet "the one" when you least expect it. I've never expected it and there always seemed to be so much time, yet I still haven't met even "the one for now."
Well, things do happen when least expected. Dearie really was an unexpected surprise to me because...I had never dated a divorced guy before, he has 2 children (young teens at that difficult time), is 16 yrs. older, etc. Just did not fit my preconceived profile of possibilities at all. Initially all of it for the first few months, made me hesitate alot ..

But despite these overt differences, there are real similarities or parallels of some previous life experiences which just makes it 10x easier for us to click and share. I have mentioned some of this stuff about him and I, the parallels over the years in TE forums.
