    Hi Jiffer
    I have responded to a couple of your posts already, but just wanted to say congrats on achieving what is significant for you.

    May it be the first of many completely rewarding rides for you


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Congrats Jiffer!! I remember the first ride I went on without my DH, I think it was 13 miles. I felt so empowered! In a months time I did a supported metric by myself. Nothing stops you after you have the confidence.

    Congrats on your solo. Don't compare your average speed to anyone else's. There are so many variables, course, conditions, etc.
