I am an underage interloper on this forum (48). I check out this forum because for the most part I have a lot more in common with you guys than I do with the 20 something racers.
I had a heart attack 4 years ago, and ride for my cardiac health. I wanted to integrate the exercise into my lifestyle so I commute to/from work. Usually 5 days per week. In the summer I will do some fun weekend rinds too, but the bulk of my riding is to/from work. I ride at a moderate pace - enough to work up a bit of a sweat, but not so much that I am hurting after my hour or so commute (15 miles).
I do not find that riding 5 or 6 days a week is a problem, in fact when I am away on a business trip for more than a couple days, I really miss it.
