I DID IT !!! Hip hip hooray

got done early w/ an appointment and didn't have to be at class 'til 6:30 -
thought the weather is good so go for it

Rode 17.2 miles - enough to do 2006.4 on this bike for the year (have a few miles on my old mtn bike)

Everything else now is gravy if the weather holds

I figure I have now graduated from beginning New Rider to intermediate new rider. I have the miles on but need to change a flat (in the cold, in the dark, in the rain and learn more about the mechanics of the bike before I can move to the true intermediate section
