Congrats, Julie!

I love your thread title. I ride alone a lot, and when I ride alone I'm awesome! Like, hey, I think I should start up racing again (after 12 years). It's those darn group rides that bring me down. Not only do I suck, but I'm an idiot for not realizing it.

I hope you keep going on that group ride. It will definitely help you improve, and it's great motivation, too. By the end of the summer, you will be right up in there and laughing at the memory of your first ride. Next year you'll be helping another newbie try to hang in.
