I haven't been on a bike in 25+ years. Going to give it a shot Saturday.

Back in the Saddle
I did it! Went for a short ride this afternoon it might have been longer but I had taken the dogs on a 2.5 mile walk and was a little tired. I am a Breast Cancer survior (2 1/2yrs) and have some nerver damage to my legs from the chemo but I did much better than I though I would.. I don't have a bike of my own, I didn't want to invest in one until I know I could still ride. I am using my daughter's MTB for now, when I buld up my time I will look for one of my own.
I'm so glad to have found TE.

Good for you! I reacquainted myself with riding with a very poorly maintained borrowed mountain bike.
Welcome to TE!
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Excellent! Did it make you feel like a kid again? There's nothing like riding a bike. I'm glad you're back in the saddle!
