I've still only gone 26mph downhill! I started riding last year -- around August. My sister, who was even more of a newbie cruised right by me, she says because she weighs more. LOL I have heard so many stories about people riding in the area near me with hills -- Ft. Jackson, S.C. -- falling and breaking hips, etc. I just don't wanna!! I need my hips! LOL

I am such a go getter with weightlifting but I still feel like I have a slight fear of my bike -- even after doing the MS150 last year -- and am training for it again. I wonder if it will ever go away.
