Looks like you got a lot of support, advice, and warm welcomes! Not much more to add but I still would like to say, welcome BikerHen to the best cycling forum out here and to continue doing what you are doing right now. Which is continue to do your weekday rides and your long ride on the weekend. And slowly increase that weekend ride until you reach your 50 mile goal. You'll be there in no time at all. You'll be surprised!

Go Girl!
