First ride after 5 years

[MariusC]

Hi all

 

So its been 5 years since my last cycle

My daughter started cycling at school and wants me to go for a ride with her on Saturday at Avianto.

now my question is, Will I die? Has the difficulty of the trial changed at Avianto.

I know I am going to have a hard time as  have not been active that much in the last couple of years, lets hope muscle memory kicks in

 

But I am excited and really glad to get back on the MTB

Don't go to hard or far.  

Take it real easy. Easy heart rate.

Stop many times.  

Finish the ride while it is still fun.

have you been riding on the Bike hub in the 5 last years? if so, you'll definitely be okay 

[lechatnoir]

know that you're certainly going to have a bit of bruising on your sit bones. but enjoy the ride

[mudda]

if you have a heart rate monitor - use it like a rev limiter

 

keep below - say 140 if you have done no training at all in 5 years

 

if you have been keeping fit - I guess - no rev limiter

haha thanks for all the advise guys. I've really missed this forum.

With all the rain we had the last couple of days I am definitely going to take it easy

I dont know which is more impressive, that you have muscle memory or that you remembered your hub password.

I also got back into it late last year, but on a very recreational basis ( very much unlike before ), after a lay off of about 6-7 years.  Loving it.
