Aye aye.............
I've just started to get back into cycling at 53, the missus & me stopped smoking last May, piled the weight on & realised we had to do something. When in my twenties I was a keen, though not very good club rider, but loved the sport unfortunately by the time I'd hit 30 family commitments etc dictated I hang up my wheels (Peugeot Perthus Pro 753R, lovely bike).
Anyway we've both got hybrids about 8 weeks ago, I've been commuting to work, 12-16 mile per day & we're up to 51
mile ride at weekends & absolutely loving it, to the point where we're seriously considering a couple of long distance rides next year, once we've lost a bit more weight (3 stone each & counting) and gain some more fitness.

I'm also a new ex-smoker and getting back into riding. Congrats, on the new lease on life, at least that was the case for me and welcome to the forum.
