I may be the last guy to give advice about getting back in the saddle since I'm more of a just do it...

I did start slow, did some indoor cycling at the gym, then 15 milers to start, then 20-25 and so on.

Of course, always made sure my wife knew my route and was available to come get me, she did once when I was going through Afib and a breakthrough incident had my HR up to 179 and stay there!

I was in the Army for 22 years so risk assessment and mitigation is just part of my thinking process so I have my bike serviced at a local shop, had flat tire repair kits, fully charged phone, a few bandaids for a minor fall (I'm on Eliquis so wife and doctors always concerned about bleeding...!)...pretty standard stuff for those who ride.

Enjoy, I'm headed out now for a 25-30 mile ride since we have a break in the Kansas heat and humidity with high of only 84 and cloud cover.

Thanks for the advice, it was helpful, sorry to be delayed in replying. Up to 30 miles now and looking to do a 40 mile Gran Fondo segment in a few weeks. We do have a bit in common, I was 29 years in the Army (so I guess that labels me as a slow learner), and my wife is a Kansan and a Jayhawk. Visits with her family and being stationed at Fort Leavenworth for 3 years gives me an appreciation of Kansas heat and humidity. Keep on getting out thre.
