After 30+ years out of the saddle, it was almost alarming how terrible I was. But improvement will happen. I can see and feel it already - Not that I'm far down the road yet, but I can tell I'm improving even at age 51.98630136986301369863013698630137.
I rode about 6 1/2 miles this afternoon after noticing that despite what I thought, we
do have a bike path in my hometown. Currently it's less than a mile, but we technically have one now. Todays ride was a quick improptu thing since I had limited time, but it was a ride nonetheless. It will be a milestone when the total recorded mileage on my bike reaches what some folks ride in a day, but I'll get there.
Keep it up!
