My biggest suggestion is when you start riding for longer distances to make sure you have a nice seat. I had a man's style seat when I first started riding and they're not made wide enough for my butt.

Good luck girl and keep it up.
Wow the Navy! Talk about your get fit quick plan!! I think I would probably die.

I think the seat my bike came with is pretty nice, but we'll see what happens when I start going on longer rides. At the moment I am just trying to get up the small hills to and from my house. By the time I do that (15 minutes?) I'm gasping for breath! LOL I think I need a bike rack for my car so I can easily take it somewhere flatter. I'm also going to drag the recumbant stationary bike out of the garage so I can train. Funny how this place works on you. I used to think "Oh it will be a nice thing to have a bike for summer", now I'm thinking "Must train so I can get up the hills without dying, want to ride with the Seattle TE people, how long until I can do the STP?" hahaha
