I just turned 52 and have returned to commuting by bike. I haven't ridden for at least 10 years. It is sure great to get back on the bike. The one way trip is 10 miles of hilly terrain east of Sacramento, between Roseville and Folsom, with some suburban, some heavy traffic.

I trained for about a month to get back in shape and am routinely reducing the commute time. So far, I have commuted 9 out of the last 12 work days and intend to continue indefinitely. I am also riding on weekends. My target is to communte a minimum of 4 out of 5 days and total 100 miles per week.

I started primarily for health, weight control and physical conditioning, but am continuing for the sheer enjoyment. This has rejuventated me more than anything I have done in years.
