Good to hear! And good for her!!!

Maybe she'll do like I did when I rode 60 one day, and was back to my car, supposed to go home cuz the family was calling me pestering when are you coming home: just decide, well, if I go this little bit farther, then come back, I'll have done this cool "metric century" thing that the ladies keep talking about, and then I'll be cool too!

That wasn't today though -- it was a few weeks back when DH wanted to do a wicked hilly thing and my head was killing me, and then I decided to go off by myself and ride a bit when I was awake and the ibuprofen kicked in! He still whines about that day a bit: his ride was only 40....
