Have fun, listen to your body and keep the rubber side down.

I started back riding in August, on a gravel grinder, and have been working to improve the engine's power. When I moved from a 30 lbs bike to an 18lbs bike it was exhilarating.

from the P90X series, it's improved my flexibility and strength.
