Haha...just got back from my ride; showered; and read all this! I love this forum!
I am doing the best I can and certainly can take it...no problems. I was doing 3 miles once a day, now 5 miles twice a day...it is more based on schedule than anything else. I cannot ride to work as it is 40 miles away with no route to even attempt it (requires two highways to get to).
My goal is to get up to 7 miles next...then 10 then......
I'll get there; the other reason for two a days is to go out with the family the second time around. Have to keep my two girls interested!
Appreciate all the responses.
