Hi. Newby here. My sister (Trek and some number -- her old bike model) hooked me in. So I've got my bike, and I'm s'posed to be working up towards the Cinderella ride in March. Only I'm in Wisconsin where the forecast is snow later this week. Today I did my first ride of any length -- 21.5 miles (according to the Forerunner). At a lazy pace. Had fun. Ogled the Arboretum. Biked across town to pick up my lost-and-found cell phone. Lunch at Mother Fools. Lakefront trail out to Picnic Point. "Discovered" a murder book store just when I needed a bathroom, and listened to an author read from his new book while I waited out a rain shower. Then home. Lovely day! Not really sore now 5 hours later, though my I knew I had thighs when I finished. But 7mph discounting the 3 long stops -- that ain't gonna do it for 66 in a day. Sista sez that if I did 20 today I'll do fine by March. 'Zat really so? Can I really just have fun and get fast enough anyway?
