Isn't great to have come so far!

Ditto! This was my first foray into riding as well. Moved on to an entry level road bike, then upgraded to a lovely new ride last year. Still just a recreational rider who rides for fun and fitness, just riding a whole lot farther and a whole lot faster.

OOOOO! new bike! How is Dusty going to feel about this? ;-)

can't wait to hear all about it!

(Ed to clarify: I just put the deposit down on it. And so the wait begins. tap tap tap ....)

I loved turning 30! And from what I have noticed women going into their 40's seem to have mid life problems then if they have any. I have a lot of friends who all seem to be about 10 years older then me and I have seen this with my own eye's. And learned a lot from them too. So since I just turned 40 I am hoping i have learned from all they have gone through.
