Hi-
I consider myself a "newbie",( although I did complete a Century last summer, and a metric century so far this summer.) I find myself becoming quite frustrated-I ride with my husband, but now he has become so much faster than I am. I know I am holding him back, so I am finding that I am frequently telling him to ride without me. But then I don't get to ride as much as I like to. Basically instead of feeling good about myself for riding, I am instead feeling like I am not good enough. HELP-I feel so disappointed. I am 42 years old, and a little heavier than I probably should be. I have a 20 something year old knee reconstruction, that really benefits from riding. I live in the country so the road riding is great, yet I am fearful to ride alone in case I would have a problem. Can anyone offer me any advice??
