Thanks for the encouragement! I get so worked up worrying about clipping out that I swear I'm aerobic before I really get going!!

My husband and I were in Napa a few weeks ago for our anniversary and rode the Silverado trail... beautiful ride! On our way back into town, we were stopping to turn left at a light and I got clipped out, but was leaning the wrong way and went over like a chopped tree. Luckily, my husband saw the whole thing (he was right in front of me) and was able to help me up and out of the way of traffic quickly. It was pretty embarrassing!!

And yes, it is great to have hubby there to help me with my bike and give lots of pointers. And to answer racing questions when we're watching cycling events on tv!!
