Welcome! I'm sure you'll get back into the swing of things quickly. Now that my kids are a little older, I'm enjoying the freedom to leave and have my cycling time for "me". I homeschool, so it's not like I've been able to go and do anything I want while they're in school. But they're getting more independent and can do a lot of their schoolwork without me now. So ... yee ha! Mom's going riding!!! See ya!!!

That's great that you are making this a family thing, by the way. Dh has gotten my 13 year old on the tandem a couple of times, but my 11 year old wants nothing to do with "cycling" that involves more than a mile or so around the neighborhood. They both show an interest in mountain biking, though, and I have an interest in it, so this may become a family thing some day. Dh just sees the dollar signs involved, since he's the only one with a decent mountain bike. But we'll see.

Congrats on coming back to cycling and welcome to the board.
