Be careful taking long sedentary breaks at your advanced age! You'll start to atrophy and get rusty very quickly. It will take you 3 months to get back to any type of shape.

I miss my daily commute. Nothing beats having to ride for transportation, rain or shine, tired or motivated. Now home but still working, I have less miles for sure.
My local MTB spots are all accessing the trails through very popular park entrances that are too dense with people hiking for my taste, so I have been jumping on the commuter bike and cruising the neighborhood and local dirt roads, often into the night, enjoying the solitude and the cool air. I have a hub dyno and 80 lux headlamp, it is great.

Weren't you trying to buy a flood light for night action on your MTB?
