Have been dealing with plantar fasciitis too - what a pain that is but massage therapist and exercises are helping. Am going to look online tonight to see where I can find some flat land to ride on.

Way to Go Kathy!!!! Glad you said "haven’t fallen “yet” as you will. I came close last night at a stop sign. "I’m not riding too far – 10 miles is the max" thats quite good actually. I've been riding with a newbie that is now up to 14. Guys at work were giving her a hard time, but I am proud of her and made sure she knew the other guys were jealous their spouses couldn't (or wouldn't) make it anywere close to that. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!.
