Hi Forum,
New to here, so I'm kind of excited to see where this takes me.
Me in a nutshell... I'm 55 turning 56 in a couple of months. Have been away from cycling for a few years due to various health reasons. Had a doctor's appointment yesterday regarding my BP.... not good. Being placed on a different medication to try and help control my numbers.
My Question: Can someone suggest a good starting point.... Miles and time frame to try and get my BP back to where it needs to be.
If it matters.... The bike is a Raleigh M80 Mountain Bike, less aggressive tires (also have the knobby tires for trails).
Any feedback would greatly be appreciated.
