I was also a return rider, coming back after about 8 years off the bike at the age of 40. That was 2 years ago now, and I can tell you that the speed is taking FOREVER to come back, and the weight is taking even longer to go away. If, like me, you're considerably heavier than you were in your 20's, that isn't helping your speed either. I guess patience is key for us middle aged come-back riders.
