Ahh, to be young again.I ended up doing just over 100k today (about 62 miles, if my math is right). It was so awesome. I think my average speed was around 20.... mph
Hi Athena! Welcome aboard and glad you are enjoying your new bike. I'm eagerly awaiting pics of your new ride.

Athena, first I have to say that I'm really happy you found cycling, that you are enjoying it and that you've found TE. You will find lots of help and support here. But I have to say that the healthcare professional in me is a little concerned. You've said that you had pelvic fractures related to what should have been a relatively minor incident and you mention bone density and over exercising as being contributing factors. Have you got your bone density under control? Do you get a period? Are you certain that you are not falling into an exercise addiction? Do you perform resisted exercises to help build your bone density?
Cycling is great and I highly recommend it as exercise to many of my clients. But you can over do that too and it won't help you build your bone density.
I sincerely hope that you are well and that you're just embarquing on another new life adventure. But if some of the things I mention seem to ring true, please think carefully about your choices and realize that bone density problems will plague you the rest of your life if you don't take care of it, and the best time to do that is now when you are young.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

They show up immediately. If it's not here you must have done something wrong. Originally Posted by Fujichants
