+1 to what Veronica said above.
Just keep riding your ride! You're doing great and progressing too.

20 miles isn't all that short, either. You have good reason to be pleased with yourself.

I think 20 miles is amazing! And, I think it is a GREAT distance too. I think later when you are riding even more, you will like the 20 mile distance
Congrats! keep it up!

Congrats, Tina!!! I think a 20 mile ride is really amazing for just 9 weeks in!!! What matters most is that you're enjoying yourself, you love riding, and you're healthier than you were in February. Good for you!!!
