So pleased you posted at long last, now I think you should change your name to Connieishere.

I think many of us could tell a similar story but I will say, now you are riding, things will get better and better, life began at 50 for me.

Whether it’s something good, bad or just for advice, I am sure you will begin to realise what a great site this is.

I know nothing about road bikes, just had a look at a Specialized Dolce Elite, very smart.

Hugs from across the pond and a belated happy 50th birthday too.
