Hello All... another new one to the Board!

I have started commuting (well, half-commuting - there is a park-and-ride seven miles from work, so I ride from there), and feel happy and refreshed on the days that I get to ride in! I began riding to save some on gas money (my truck gets 15 mpg )... but I think it's really a wash, since I eat more food on the days I commute! Ha! Oh well. Now I want another jersey, too... all I have is one pair of cycling shorts and a wool jersey (which I love, but when it's 90 degrees and humid I would love something cooler). Plus, I only have a mountain bike, and a road bike would be really nice... I can see this becoming as expensive as my horses really quickly! I'll have to get a second job.

My husband is a cyclist... used to work at a bike shop, races both road and mountain. He seems happy to see that I am riding something other than my horses! Is there hope for me? Sometimes it seems that I will never be fit enough to go for a ride with him... he is just so fast! I am faster now than I was a few weeks ago, but...

I have already gotten some good advice and tips from all of you as I have been reading the board. Thanks!
