Hey JoAnn!
Thank you for reply, we already got the book and will start checking out the routes. I went for a ride yesterday 30 miles and we averaged about 16mph, on some parts I was going around 18 or 19 mph and that is with my platform pedals. We went to a very nice bike shop .Its small but guys there are professional racers so they know what they are talking about and help you with everything, it's in Bellport.We got me road shoes ( specialized torch for women),they didn't have speedplays in stock but next week they are ordering so i am coming and and they will put it up for me :-) I am very excited but terrified at the same time. I will try to find that website that talkes about that route, and I will let you know. Hope you enjoy your rides,


Marina
