Stopped riding in around November(discovered I had gallstones & required surgery + troubles after surgery). Started back up last month, on my own & going slowly (8-12 miles every other day or so). Plan on going to the slower group rides starting this Monday.

So, not brand spanking new, but new enough to know I can/want to get better
