First "modern" bike and first quality bike in 40 years

When I was in college I had a Reynolds 531 frame, Campy-equipped, silk
sew-ups, a quality set-up. I eventually moved down to Motebecan until I
bought a Trek 2.1 this last weekend. As you can imagine, the difference is
just astounding. I appreciate it's a modest bike compared to some I see
described here, but it meets my needs

I live on the Oregon coast near Newport. Any suggestions for someone just
getting back into biking? I'm getting too old and heavy to run, so this my
plan for fitness.

I enjoy lurking on this reflector a good deal -- you're quite a group
