Heya from Maynard, MA
 
Back on the bike after a 17 year layoff...OOF! Very hard starting over at 46 years old, but I've got the bug again and have been at it about 3 weeks now. I'm feeling good about adding more hours/miles each week and slowly bringing my old war horse up to snuff through component upgrades and maintenance.

Hello rusto--we would LOVE to see photos of your Bianchi at the Classic & Vintage forum, please :D .

How many miles have you got on the bike since your return?

Welcome to BF!

The rust comes off pretty fast. I took about a 20 year layoff and returned to cycling a couple of years ago. Am now riding ~500 miles a month and riding faster than I did in my 20's. The new technology in bicycles is pretty amazing, but it's still the rider turning the cranks. This weekend I'm planning my first century since 1987.
