I just recently started riding and I find myself wanting to go for the ride but I find a million in one excuses to not get out there and ride.
I need and want some motivation.

I will admit that I'm intimidated by the traffic. I live on a busy road that has large shoulders to ride on and it's very rural also. I know that I need to practice looking over my shoulder for traffic due to the wind in my ears.

Thats another question is there anything out on the market the help buffer the noise of the wind and still allow for you to hear things?

Do you think that doing trails would be better? I just got the bike rack out of my hubbys truck and put it in my car so I can put it on this afternoon. I like the giddy up and go factor, this would make it easy to get to a trail.

Ladies, I want cycling to me more than just a hobby, I want it to be a passion. I love my trek 2.3 WSD and I think I have most of the fitting issues taken care of. I just need the inner strength to go. Where do I find it?
