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

Cool bike! 10 miles is a great distance for starting out. When I started riding in February, my uncle gave me some excellent advice...do short rides for the first few weeks, even if you feel like you could do more. He has known more people who have started riding too many miles too soon and have paid the price for it...sore muscles, injuries, etc...and then they decide they don't like cycling. My first few weeks of riding consisted of lots of short rides...3 to 10 miles each. I never felt overly sore and I was always looking forward to my next ride. I built my mileage up gradually, and in no time I was riding 20-30 miles on the bike trail. I am sure that some folks would disagree with this, but it worked well for me.
Enjoy your bike!
