I hope I'm posting in the right place I can't seem to find the area I was looking for to make an introduction!

I don't think you can get any 'newer' than me. I picked up a mountain bike very recently after being inspired by hundreds of riders at events such as MS150 and Bike Around the Bay while driving SAG with my husband. Everyone was so nice and seemed to be having such a good time. Being around so many wonderful people... I decided I had to get involved!

So what I'd love is some advice, websites with information, especially regarding sharing the road with cars, and anything else a newbie should know.

I'm still looking and researching bicycles. I went to a local shop and was given an estimated size (44cm - I'm 5'1 1/2" with longer legs and arms), but no fitting just yet. I am still learning so much.

Anyway, I hope I get to know you all very well! I am excited to begin something new if my life!
