Hey, good for you. Too keep it up, make things comfortable. Don't knacker
yourself out - make it a pleasure, not a chore and your fitness will
build.

Look out for local clubs or groups, and tag along on easier rides.
That'll provide some motivation, and maybe some hints n tips.

No need to go overboard with the spending, but good clothing does
make a difference. Cycling mitts with padded palms are cheap, and
are very comfy. Have a look at leisure-style cycling shorts in your
local shop - these are cut to look like baggy beach shorts. Or consider
a padded shorts insert.
