Things to consider -

Budget?
What is "some experience"? How recent?
Can you still do basic maintenance like chain cleaning, flat repair, etc.?
Can you operate hand brakes/thumb shifters?
Can you swing a leg up and over a bike, or do you prefer a step-through?
Can you lift and maneuver the bike?
What kind of shape are you in?
How's your tolerance for risk? Can you risk an injury that might take a while to recover from?

I don't think the forum can help you much. If I were you, I'd start small with safe, flat, low-mileage rides and see how it goes.
