Thanks for all the replies!

We had some decent weather last week, and my wife bought me a bike rack for the car and a bike helmet for Christmas, so I threw the bike onto the car and took off for a park that had a lot of nice bike paths. I rode for several hours and loved every min of it! After I got home, I could feel it in my legs for a day or so and then it felt great. I feel more energetic. I went out again 3 days later and rode about 25 miles! I see myself really getting into this sport/hobby. Thanks for all the great advice.

I think thats the most I ever rode this bike in the 20+ years since I bought it. The bike worked great and after adjusting the seat a little, it seemed a good fit for me. I remember the original seat was very uncomfortable, but this gell seat feel a whole lot better on my A$$. It was comfortable and moveds along at a quick pace.

One thing I realized was the traffic around here is not good for biking. I had a few close calls with people driving like idiots. I think going forward, Ill stick to parks and bike paths. Especially when riding with the family.

In the spring, Ill be picking up another roof rack for my wifes bike. My son's is small and can fit in the back. I thought the roof mount, would be a pain since the car is very tall, but it only took less than a min to get it up there and since Im tall, it was no problem. I just have to look out for low branches and remind myself not to pull into the garage with the bike.

All in all, Im very happy to get back into this. Im finally loving this bike after it was sitting in the garage for 21 years. I may very well get another bike next year, if I keep up with it. For now, this one will do me fine.
