Absolutely! I first started at the age of 12 when my father started getting into it and the whole family joined in. Shortly after, I started racing. My focus was then on training and making it to the Olympics (never even got close). I stopped riding when college got too busy, then started up again after graduating, but this time for recreation. I still noted my average speed and tried to go longer and/or faster. Got up to a double metric in about 7 hours. Having children once again had me finding little time to ride and I gave it up until I realized how out of shape I had gotten. Started riding again, but don't want to spend that much time away from my family and am still overweight and slow, so I'm just trying to get a decent workout now.
