I finally "qualified" for this forum last Sunday - and boy are you folks intimidating! The mileage you cover with ease has me envious. I've only been riding since this past March. I lost half of June to a lung infection and most of July to a nasty bike crash injury and I feel like I've been starting from scratch. So, it is with great pleasure that I get to post that, since my birthday last Sunday, my husband and I have cycled 117.7 miles, including a 16.5 mile ride this morning. Even though the terrain was pretty flat I was feeling it on the way back. I am hoping that some day a 50-60 mile ride will be as easy for me as it is for so many of you!
