Having come back to cycling after 20 years , aged 62, I started in January by buying a road bike (Felt Z95)
gradually built up endurance and speed, and in June did the London to Brighton (and cycled to Clapham first for total of 77 miles), next did the London Windsor Sportive (actually starts from Richmond), cycled to the start and back from Windsor afterwards.
In Oct did New Forest 100 Sportive for what was deifinitely longest ride ever. I have no real record of my earlier cycling, but doubt I ever dod more than 65 or 70 miles.
This was in the background of family problems, (Dad had died and Mum into Nursing home, then in Feb we flooded and did not get back to our house until December.)
I took early retirement end of Oct 2012 and had already lost some weight, from peak of 12 stone 6, it is now around 10 stone 6 (there may be one or two festive season pounds to come off)
