Not been on a bike regularly for years and live at the top of a hill. Being 55 coming on 56 and being rather too fond of the pies it would be near impossible (totally exhausting) for me to ride back up the hill where i stay.

This morning i thought i would have a quick go on my Giant full E+1(mu2017). Well i crunched a few gears and wobbled a fair bit but despite that i managed two laps round the block. On the second i went even further down hill. I did have to put some effort in (that was always part of the plan) but i managed it without exhausting myself. Looking forward to some longer days in the saddle once the better weather arrives. Thinking i could start each day with an early morning cycle just build up some fitness.

 

All in all well chuffed (with the bike and myself) :-)

I'm even older Dario, and have built up to 30-40 miles through the hills. Keep at it, it gets easier and MORE fun.... enjoy.
