Got back on in April this year after 15 years or so and I am loving it. Done a couple of 100 km audax in Angus, commute 4 days a week and I'm set fair for the winter.
To be honest I was not that good at road racing, only rode them as training rides for TT events. Rode TT of all distances up to 100 miles.
Then I was forced to "retire" after two knee operations, same knee as well.

Tried racing again after it had healed, but my knee was to weak and I didn't want to risk not be able to ride a bike at all.
So had twelve months away from the bike, then started riding Audax events, turns out I really enjoy them.
