Hi All,
Not sure exactly where to put this but I'm after some advice
I've been cycling since about 2012 but I have had a couple of lay offs over the years. My last one has been my worst. Work and life stresses really got in the way. I last rode in August 2022. I was a member of a club and regular participant in the club rides and even did a few TT's. I would say I was comfortable up to 50 miles at a 16 -17mph average, but I haven't really done much at all since apart from become unfit and lardy.
I'm not on any medication or have any known issues etc but I am quite worried about getting back out again as I am now 52 so just wondering how best to approach. I'm very much a don't think just do type of person but not sure this is the best approach.
Should I just go out and spin for as long my backside allows me and just go with the flow or should I plan some kind of structure for my first few rides limiting speed and distance and what do you think would be a good goal 20 flatish miles or should I go easier?
Thank you
