I quit biking in '83-84' due to marriage and military. The last 15 years caring for high needs children we adopted. Last year as the last of the kids left home realized how crapped I was. In the 70's rode a minimum of 210 miles/week, could never get over 150 lbs., now over 250 lbs and hard pressed to ride 2-4 miles/week. I have been trying to get back on my bike because I remember the feelings I had while riding, the peace, and ease with myself. I started about 2 months back and was looking for things to try to help my "getting back." I thankfully ran across this group and have seen that my experience while not normal is no different than others. I am also realizing that I may never get back to the rider I was, but that I have a chance, most important though seeing others experience, is that I just need to do it and take it as it comes and enjoy what I can.
