Congrats Miss B, and yes, obviously many of us love to read your posts! In fact, your posts in particular have assured me that I am ready to take the plunge and join a local club for some group rides both for the fellowship and the challenge. I finally broke down and picked up a cycle computer, and my rides have been averaging 13 - 16 mph, so I'm a bit more confident that I wouldn't be riding alone the whole way!
Keep on posting!
