Welcome, welcome, welcome!
Glad that you are biking and posting! You are in for a lot of fun! 32 miles does not sound like too bad a start to me! You will be amazed at how the benchmarks you set will quickly fade into history as you keep getting better and better! I am 52 years old, and after a 36 year break from riding bikes, I got started again just last March! And I am having a blast!
If you ever have any questions, be sure and post them here...this a really a helpful bunch of folks!
