Yes, no interest in racing (Too Old and legs far too short). What you have listed is where my interest is. Riding has been the most enjoyable way to loose weight and gain fitness. Riding a couple of centuries a year is a goal but right now I doubt I could complete a half century but we are working on it.

Thanks for the advice. This evening going to start focusing on getting the cadence up and not worry about speed or distance.
