I hadn't ridden a bike in more than 50 years before today. I turned 69 on 10/26 and bought myself a new Electra Cruiser 7D to celebrate.....my across the street neighbor has been after me for years to get a bike and go riding with him so I finally did it.
My friend took me to the Spring Creek Greenway in Spring, TX which is just a few miles from our houses and although I was a little shaky at first, I was able to follow him for a first ride going 7.2 miles. He usually does 25+ miles but today took it easy for me. At 6 or so miles my legs were pretty tired so I struggled back to my car and he took off for the rest of his ride. Its about 3 hours later now and I feel pretty good....maybe I'll be a little sore tomorrow, maybe not but I look forward to the next ride in a few days.
