    and ride your OWN ride. If you're trying to keep up with So and So, it's likely that you're going to be miserable. Ride at your own speed and you CAN do it. If it gets bad anywhere you can always walk. And take lots of breaks.

    mimi, you are SOOO right! This is my biggest problem on rides - I try to keep up with someone who is faster, or my head messes with me and I psyche myself into some sort of funk and then get frustrated and angry because I can't ride the way others are riding.

    Take mimi's advice and ride your OWN ride. You will be much happier, and you WILL do it!
