Hi, Everyone
Just wanted to introduce myself--I'm a 50 year-old former commuter and weekend rider just getting back out on the roads after a long illness. I started back last Monday and rode four times easy last week, and again this morning. It's great to be back on my bike and on this forum

Congrats on getting back on the bike, and welcome to the forum! We do expect pictures of your bike -- without them, it does not exist here.

Welcome and CONGRATS on beating whatever you beat! I went through a year of chemo and came back. Then broke my back on the MTB and now am back in the saddle again on the roadie! Life is GOOD! I am new here also and have found it to be a Great bunch of folks.

Don't want to derail the OP's thread, but I just noticed you're in Bellevue Ohio. About 40 years ago or so, I used to rumble through your town 5 days a week for a couple of years to load at the Central Soya mill.
