Just starting again at 51, love it!
Thought I’d make an intro here and welcome any comments, encouragement, and advice.
I started taking my fitness seriously about 2 years ago. Been in the gym doing the lifting/cardio thing regularly and it’s been a game changer. But, I just realized how much I hate cardio machines. Lightbulb went off...get a bike!
I got a great deal on a CTY 1.1, got all the gear just last Saturday. Been to Prospect Park 4 times and I couldn’t be more happy. The first 3 rides I did one lap, it’s about 3.5 miles with a sustained hill that, for me, is not so easy. Then today, I did 2 laps, silly, but Im proud.
The sights, the sounds, seeing all the serious cyclists to inspire you. And you feel like a kid again, such a blast from the past.
Hoping to get my bearing over the next few weeks, get up to 10 miles and beyond, and start cruising all over.
