    Hey welcome!
    Lots of us middle-agers here.
    I'm 54, been riding bikes only about 2 years....I can 50 and 70 mile rides now, started with 6 mile rides two years ago. Bikes can do that to you- they're just too much fun!

    Advice?.....hmmmm....my best advice is to remember that your body adapts slowly to new things...new body positions, new muscles being used, new limits being pushed. I am always amazed at how much I keep progressing- but my body takes it all at it's own pace. Then before you know it you get surprised by how much better you can do than you did months before.
