Hi - my name is Kathie and I'm 45 - 46 in 2 months! I've been riding on and off since I was 5 - sometimes more seriously than others. My second husband divorced me 6 yrs ago and I moved allllll the way across the US from Indiana to New Mexico by way of Arizona. During my journey I discovered who I Really was as a person and am trying to decide if I ever want to get married again?.........or even have a partner?? My office moved the first of June right next to a bike trail that has its head about 1 mile from my house so I bought a Trek Commuter bike and I now ride to work every day I can - 6 miles each way: coming down the mountain in the morning, going up the mountain at night. I Love my Trek but am now lusting for a road bike. I Want More Speed!! I found this forum in Sept and you gals - ALL of you - psych me so much. I want to ride a centuary and join a club and buy fast bikes and ride races and and and and..........
