    I’ve gone as far as 55 miles in one bike ride, and hope to do a full century ride someday. 30 miles is not at all out of the ordinary for bicyclists.

      If I can do it after not riding my bike for a year, then so can you.

        Thanks, I don’t doubt it. Biggest issue is that I have significant anxiety about doing any riding after a really close call some years ago. A car was going something like 50 mph on a 35 limit street, and was inches from hitting me from behind. Technically it did hit, but only enough to barely whiff past my body, and put a small dent in my rear rack.
