Congrats on your big solo ride.

Too bad about your husband. Mine has said negative things to me from time to time and they really smart (these comments really bug me and stay with me too). (Fortunately for me, my DH is generally speaking a very very supportive helpful ride mate)

Your bike is not wasted on you.

And this year my DH has finally been able to slow down to ride with me. It's GREAT!
