Thanks for the encouragement.

Yes, I'm absolutely taking my time getting back into shape again - just getting out regularly on my bike 3 times a week is all it is and just enjoying it again as you so rightly say I must take it easy.

I did some walking and swimming whilst pregnant which helped to keep me 'moving', but no cycling since a long time.

Great to be on this forum - I've been hovering for such a long time because I've not been on my bike and if I'm not on my bike I don't feel part of 'the community' - but here I am back again and great to be in touch with all you great cyclists...look forward to helping you out too where I can.
