So how does this help you?

The point is, it's not about distance, it's how you're feeling while riding. Don't worry about time or distance, just focus on staying upright, riding safely, without over extending yourself and above all, have fun. If that works into a mile or two, or more, then great.

In time, you'll figure it out and adapt to how your feeling. Some days you'll fell strong and ride longer, then others will be short. It's not a race, there's no schedule, it's just you and the bike. There's a saying that's used often but all so true and certainly applies here............ Just get out and ride!

All the best.....
