okay I went on a ride last night on my mtn bike. I road 7.5 miles with an ave speed 10.2 of in about 40 min. I had my BF take me on fairly flat route. (Lots of rolling hills in my book) But in all a good experience. My butt is paying for it this morning. Can't wait to get a better bike.

Thanks for all of your words of encouragement!
