To everyone that has replied so far ... I'm glad to see other active Moms and Moms-2-B! My Dr is very excited for me, given my age and the overall progress of my health and that of the baby ... test show I am running a pregnancy of a 33 yr old! My last visit, he simply encourged my to just keep doing whatever it is am doing ... because it is working well.

Iruln - The articles were very useful ... I especially relate to the Mom's Intuition takes over aspect. Already I am avoiding riding in the DC heat & humidity and have striken some of the centuries known for their difficulty (hills in August ...pls). Also, I finding that I prefer riding with a partner and going on less solo rides ... safety in numbers?

SingleTrackMind - That clues me in more on gauging fall riding. Thinking of taking the tactic to train to ride, but just register late (take the late fee hit) and to be prepared to alter my goals ... shorter ride at a slower pace with my husband who is new to biking (wonder what made him start???) Also, I liked hearing your lil one likes being in the trailer ... I've already picked one out ... now just for the crib and everything else ...

emily in nc -- I hear you ... I've had my share of tumbles ... last one was just before my wedding in Oct 2004 ... my poor Fiancée ... all he wanted to do was put me on lock down so I'd be in one piece ... instead he very smartly distracted me with side trips and other activities. I knew what he was doing ... but I was more than glad to go along. Somehow, I think he will step in when the time is right, in such a way that I will want to follow.

thank you
