Thanks pedalfaster! A lot of the women in the tri group I train with work fulltime. I work part-time from home, so my schedule is a bit more flexible. I have made friends through my group that I ride with one early morning a week. I am hoping they will continue to ride until the season is over. I live in the Chicago area, so it gets quite windy and cold, but I am hoping to continue riding through mid-December weather permitting.
