So far so good for me although I was commenting in another thread about getting bored. I live in an urban area near the beach so I have to be careful about crazy drivers and my safety in general. I agree with what the previous poster said about riding at whatever pace you feel like; don't have to worry about leaving others behind or keeping up.

I've been battling boredom by changing my routes. There are a few paved bike paths and beach bike paths around here. Sorry, have to brag....it's nice riding down Pacific Coast Hwy this time of year, being able to see the snowy mountains to the east and the big, blue Pacific Ocean to the west!

Enjoy getting back on your bike!
