Mick,
Quite a few in this group suffer from middle age spread to been bloody
fat. I am not fat but my leather jacket has shrunk due to riding in the
rain 
Anyway am in the 50's and I tell you now that your body will adapt. Just
be careful and enjoy

It took you 15 years to lose your riding fitness, so of course it'll
take a while to regain it. Not 15 years though, you should be right
by the end of this year if you do a reasonable distance (20,000km or
so).

Well, lessee. He thinks 200k is a short trip, so according to you, if he
does that twice a week for an entire year, he should be right. Blimey! I
reckon if he did that for 3 months he'd be right. Oh! I see. You meant
on a push-bike. Sorry. As you were.
