Last time I've ridden a bike I was but a teen, got spoiled and soft being carried by a combustion engine as an adult.
Although for some reason riding on a road feels weird, on the other hand, forest paths with all the roots and rocks feel great.
Anyway, my legs are killing me and I hate all the small hills but I feel great.

Thats awesome I just got a new bike today too
I had been a Cat II bike racer in college and got completely burnt out on the sport. Even worked as a manager at a pro shop where actual pros who trained in Tucson shopped. Sold everything and got into trail running and hiking for the next 30 years. Then the bug bit me and I bought a gravel bike a few months ago.
Went out today for a long ride and for a few minutes here and there I felt like I was 24 years old again and dialing it in for attacking a hill or contesting the final sprint.
