Thanks ladies! I think the balance issue does stem from just being nervous and new at this again. I will try focusing further out too. And I do laugh at my falls, and it was a good way to teach my kids that even I fall, and have to get up and keep trying. Of course having the SUV full of teenagers slow down, honk and yell at me didn't help much at the time Such is life! I am in MN and we are having rain/sleet/snow today, so my time on the bike is still delayed. I hope to also try some spin classes too, and I have just begun working on my core too.

Thanks again!
