I'm so happy to see other 40+'ers out there! I started in January ...or at least the training part. ( For those of you new to this sight...I'm just filling you in...to the rest...I know, you've heard this already!). I went through back surgery in March, then finally got to ride my new road bike in May...what a ride! Put 1100
In July, my daughter and I did a 700 mile ride down the west coast (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!). I got back on my hybred just the beginning of this week to ride with my son and daughter down the bike trail...OH MY GOSH! is it fun now (now that i have strength in my legs!). I switch back and forth between "serious" biking on my road bike , and riding "fluffy" my hybred...(also highly recommended). My next adventure is in France in a few weeks with my husband (he's not converting so easily and def. not finding the enjoyment in it like i do...darn). It's a bike/barge trip...anyone done that yet?
Anyway...to all you awesome 40+er's...WAY TO GO!!!!!!
I'm in better shape now then ever in my life! Doesn't it feel sooooo great to ride a bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!
