Wow, lucky girl to get ride around Yuba. Welcome to the board!

The guys at my LBS always roll their eyes when I come in and say, "Well, on my ALL girl bike forum THEY suggest...." What can I say? It is a testosterone driven sport, we need all the Team Estrogen we can get!

You'll love this board. I've learned a ton here.

If you are in reasonably good shape already the 40 miler should be do-able.

Last year my husband went from never cycling to riding the 50 mile ride in the Hotter N Hell 100 in a month. And he was pretty much a couch potato at the time. This year we are shooting to do the full 100 miles, at the very least the 100K.

I used to mountain bike. Now I'm a roadie addict! I have this need for speed!
