My goodness, Jennifer, you had never ridden at all? Even as a child?
That's progress.

No Susan, I had not once been on a bike. I had always been terrified of them. Now I cannot imagine not being on one.

What an amazing and wonderful story, and it's just begun.

Come on down to the tri board some day. We'll have you at least curious! L.

Congratulations bikingmom! I feel the same way - the women on TE are amazingly supportive and helpful. They have made a huge impact on me as well. It's so comforting to have a group of women who understand how you feel about cycling. None of my friends "get" it. Thanks and ((((((hugs)))))) to all of you.
And Bikingmom - imagine where we'll be one year from now?!?!!! Woohooo!!

Wrensmom-Thank You. I am proud, yet at the same time still pushing myself, because I need/want to be able to go farther and faster.
Lise- Thanks! No, I have neverr considered a triathlon, yet I would not rule considering them out. I am haviong so much fun pushing myself to see how far I can go-how weird is that?
kelownagirl-I am quite excited to see what direction this next year takes me. I am so glad I have everyone here at TE for support, advice, and who just plain understand.Jennifer

Congratulations! And I probably speak for everybody else -- you have been an absolute delight on this board!
This is a great board. It is so supportive and non-judgemental. Maybe because of the gender... do ya think?

Thank you Dogmama.
This is indeed a very special board. So many differing opinions and yet everyone is treated with respect and kindness. That is not often found in large forums. TE rocks and motivates me every day.
