Thanks @

I started the month by leading a moderate LBS ride. 25.2 miles for me, the shop ride was on 23 of that. Many of our members here are still stuck in deep winter. Our good weather is a mixed blessing in that there will not be enough water for irrigation of many crops and a much longer fire season this year.
3 years ago I was barely hanging on to group rides that my LBS would put on. Today I am leading them and having to slow down to keep the group together. My point is for other clydes and Athenas to believe in themselves and keep riding you never know the cyclist that you really are until you give it it time and miles. We are all capable beyond our imaginations.
