i'm making the commitment! i have decided to get serious about my riding. i'm new to this forum - any forum actually - and from what i have read so far my story is pretty similar. my husband used to ride/race and after we dated for a while i bought a road bike and started joining him on rides - mainly 20-30 miles 2x per week. i have now decided to prepare for races next year! my husband is now my coach and we are adding on the miles each week. i expect it to be a lot of work!! any advice for me?? i'll take any tips, tricks, winter workout info, your own 1st time race stories! thanks!!!
