Will I ever get there?

[j1200k]

2 years of illness is a long time! If you can, ignore the miles and enjoy the time spent using your body the way it was meant to be used, not being ill. The miles will increase in fits and spurts, but the hours are always well spent.

And welcome to TE

Thank you for the welcome.

Yes it is good to get out there again. At 53 it is not easy, but never a quitter me is not.

Yes time in the fresh air and countryside is worth more than gold!!!!!!

Have fun and enjoy life folks
