After many years of letting our bicycles lie dormant, we got them tuned up, and we've been riding them around a bit. Our biggest outing so far was only about 10km roundtrip, which isn't far, but it will probably be about as much as we will manage. In the more distant past we would do perhaps 80km in a day, but I think those days are behind us.
Still it's good to get out.
We have a couple of trails around here. For example: when we biked to our seniors' exercise class yesterday, we could do almost half of it along the trail near us, and the rest was on quiet residential streets.
This ↓ is a photo from that 10km trip. This trail is very narrow, and is not highly used, but others hereabouts are wider, and there's room for both pedestrians and riders.
And these were taken at a spot where we had to walk our bikes where the path got narrow near the river.
As you just might be able to tell, we are enjoying getting back on our bikes.

Good for you both! In every way!
what a beautiful spot! But you guys are braver than me; I'd fear a tumble resulting in a broken something at my age. I need to get out of my rut. ;)
Biking is a great exercise until our weather gets so warm and humid! We go with the grands when we can.
You two look great, and the trail is beautiful. They have little platforms you can slip under your bikes in the winter when you can't get outside. You can bike in all weather.
WHere did you have them tuned?!
Yes, you have inspired us to get out our bicycles as we too have a trail very near the mill apt. And, our bikes have been rather dormant recently. My preference is for a paved riding path.
Good for you. Makes me want to try again!
You live in a great spot for this! I love visiting this park.
