Welcome aboard sparkiefish,

I re-started riding at 57, doing the same sort of distance that you're up to. Now I do 30 miles as a training ride, but can remember my first 20+ ride as being a near death experience! It's amazing how the comfortable distance tolerance builds up with practice.

EE, you're always young enough to start cycling!
Not be long till you do 20 miles just for the fun of it: enjoy!

Welcome, you will certainly improve and your wallet/purse will become lighter too. I know from personal experience but enjoy the ride however long it is and however long it takes,who gives a fig.

Hi and welcome looking like a very positive start so well done from another over fifty rider oh and also a late returner lol

 

[Tight Git]

Well done and keep it up!
I started again 2 years ago at age 51 and had to stop for a rest on a bench at 5 miles I was so out of breath! Did the C2C in a day 3 weeks ago...
