First time out...In a while.
Rough couple of years; a spot of angina led to a couple of stents, bad knee (torn cartilage) led to arthroscopic surgery.... Yadda, yadda....
Been working into things easy; riding my patrol bike at work ("campus" law enforcement) at an easy pace. Not working hard, the place is pretty level.
Finally dug out my muchly-rebuilt old Cilo and took 'er for a spin around the local park. This is a thoroughly-retro (1972) bike with Columbus steel frame, downtube shifters, and built back up with a decent freehub wheelset.
Went well! My arms are not used to the roadster position, and I wasn't exactly charging up the hills, but things felt pretty good! I think I need new cleats for my ancient "spuds".

Welcome back to riding. That sounds like a nice old steed. Would love to see pics as would most in the C and V section.
