Still A Newbie

Congratulations Sara!!!
If its the Tour De Tahoe you are talking about i would definitely work on your starting and stopping. It gets a lot of riders and Im assuming like a lot of other charitiy rides that some of these riders have zero bike skills so you may find yourself needing to stop quicker than you expected.

Uh oh, now I'm scared!

Yup, I'm talking about the Tour De Tahoe...hopefully I have good enough skills to avoid other non-skilled riders. What I'm more concerned about is doing something stupid and taking someone else out! Good reason for me to definitely work on the starting and stopping. Grassy lawn, here I come!

MicheleM - thank you for sharing the awesome info about those bike clinics. I should definitely do this! What a great opportunity to learn a whole bunch of stuff that I really, really, really need to learn!

And Lisa - if you post a picture of your thighs, then I'll post a picture of mine! Wait, maybe I should take that back...my thighs still have a lot of room for improvement. But I could show off my bike shorts tan line.
