I should say also that it took us about 3 years of riding consistently to be able to comfortably do the miles we are doing now without injury. we are the same age as you.

Hi and welcome!
If your local bike shop or outfitter has any free clinics go and check them out. I've attended two - a Trek Woman's clinic (just kind of went over fit, and changing tires) and a lbs repair and maintenance clinic. They are great confidence builders!
