Stick with it mwrobe1 - it was easy for me both times I quit - the first time for 5 years. The last time for good was 10 years ago. All those failed attempts between the two were very hard though. Crazy hard.

The ride home was great - chased down and passed a roadie. He proceeded to hang off my rear wheel for a couple of miles - I pedalled thse two miles much harder than normal. I'm a little sore ...
