@Rose, your ride sounds nice. Did you know that River City Bicycles has "beginner, recreational" group rides at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday? This one coming up is #3 and I haven't made it to one yet. I think I'm a chicken.

If you ever want to meet there and go on one I'd meet you. Just private message me.

So my "accomplishment" is that I watched/learned/helped my DH change his rear derailleur cable a few days ago (I posted it's own thread on this). I didn't realize it would be so easy!
