Hello cycling redditors!

I am a middle aged, overweight, unfit 5'10" men who just recently purchased a roadbike for myself.

Last night i my first proper ride (i ride solo, because i couldn't stand the heat and most of the cyclist here usually ride during late afternoon),
22.2km's and it took me 38 minutes. Mostly flat, but windy since it's a 1 km off the coast.
Road was dark 3/4 of the trip (i do have good front and rear lights), a little beat up and it was drizzling half the trip.
Is that a good benchmark for a total beginner like me?

I do feel slightly tired but i recovered quickly within 5 minutes.

Also my left side of the bum hurts, so would getting a bib help a lot?

Thanks!
