thanks all for a different perspective. I will get back on trying to find a starting place for me to get my road confidence back---I know there are folks here that do road bike, I just need to work a bit harder to connect with them directly and get their advice on a good starting place for someone like me (a worry wort
)
I just have started out by getting discourged when checking out the loop trips in one guide book--because it all ended up or started on a road I truly don't want to ride on--narrow, blind curves, industrial and loaded with big dump trucks hitting the curves too fast!
I"m sure there must be other folks who ride elsewhere.
Thanks again,
J-sun
