Today was my first ever solo ride on the road!

Only 15 miles with a slow average of 13.5 mph (but in my defense, I'm still a newbie on platform pedals and it's really hilly here!). This was a big hurdle I needed to cross because I am really rather petrified of the traffic around here. No shoulders, curvy country roads, still sand and gravel all over the pavement from recent snow, and hills, hills, and more hills! I was literally shaking during quite a bit of the ride, but I did it and now I feel great!
