    Getting old sucks

    I thought I would try riding a bicycle for exercise. (hadn't been one for 30+ years). So I buy a used one off a dude that's older than me, he said "I can't ride it anymore". It is a nice bike, he said it was a hybrid, 24 gears, disk brakes I mean a really nice bike. ( last bike I owned was a Sears 10 speed 1970-71). I take it home check the tire pressure, raise the seat (previous owner was a short guy), grease the chain and check the brakes. I get on the thing in the driveway and all the sudden the fear of God hits me right between the eyes, I'm thinking just make it up the street and back. Off I go up the street and back to the driveway, I make it!!, then around the block I go and I make that! pretty proud of myself. Didn't want to push my luck so I parked it for the day, seat really hurt my ass, so I go buy a padded wider seat and mark a mile off in my truck. The next day I do a mile and have been building up further and further, I have a 5 mile track through my hood now and going 6+ miles at least every other day. I ride at times when I know the traffic will be low and hit the sidewalks not to impede anyone driving....Just one thing that I have noticed, I can't seem to force myself to stand up and pump the peddles hard (something in the back of my head says...if you do that you will bust your ass!) anybody got any suggestions?
