I am scared a little though! Congruts on your improving!
Hee-hee... at the end of the ride, when we got off the chip seal and hit the flat pavement again... I was yelling and cheering.... and gosh I felt like I was riding like a pro!

I will say that I DO NOT ride where there are cars... alone. In fact, if I am going to ride alone, I ride on a path around the lake. Otherwise, I always ride in a group on streets. Safety in numbers.

Maybe you can find a club or some peeps to ride with?
