    Where to begin??? I have been lurking for weeks...joined a little over a week ago and enjoying every story! It is so nice to see other females out there!!! I have been struggling with the "I am not good enough!" or "I am too old to start something new like this!" and especially "I am a girl, the guys don't want to ride with ME!"

    Well, come to find out...I can hang as good as any other "guy" (maybe even a younger one) that has been out there as long as me!

    I have been on a MTBike for about 9 months with the patient instructions of my fiance (who rides 60-80 miles 2-4 days a week) as his "rest" day...Now, with determination on my side, I now tire him out and usually am leading before the ride is over!!! I am looking at being the proud new owner of a road bike within the next few weeks. Here in south Florida it gets too humid and muggy in the MTBike trails to ride (not to mention the mosquitos) so road riding picks up about this time of the year...my fiance rides with a fast group that rides along the beach in the Pampano area and I am psyched to get involved! I just hope with all your motivational stories and guidance paired with my DLO (Dear Loved One - soon DH) patience and enthusiasm I will be riding with them next year! (I figure I will be spending this year riding my butt off trying to make close to their speed)

    Just wanted to share and Thank all of you girls for sharing! BTW...if there are any girls in the Ft Lauderdale area looking for a buddy to ride with I will be out there in a couple of weeks spinning my little heart out!

    Ok, Ok, here she is. I've been enjoying her a lot. I am used to a hybrid, and push button shifting, so I need to work on the upshift from the granny gear to the middle chainring. Otherwise I can't wait to show her off in the Quad County Metric on Sunday!

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
