After several years of not doing it, got back on my ride two weeks ago, only to have my shoes separate from the soles (20+ years old, I can't complain!)and had to make do for the 2 miles back. New shoes, got on the bike today did about 5 miles early this morning, with no negative effects, which is a good thing. Figure start back on short rides for a short while, then progress longer and longer. Felt really good this AM!!
