Well done that man!
I reckon one of the best aspects of staying in fairly good shape is maybe not that it's possible to run or ride these distances with an increasing amount of ease. For me anyway, it's almost a by-product of keeping fit. It means more energy in reserve for everyday tasks. For instance, carrying things about or walking to the shops and back without it taking too long. More zest available for just about anything.
My better half is in a wheelchair and me staying fit definitely benefits both of us. I'm more able to handle the associated heaving about and other things, such as pushing or walking for miles. It all makes for an improved quality of life.
