first longer ride-mixed feelings

[jobob]

It helps to know that every strong rider had to begin somewhere and work through/with fears.

Absolutely!

The year I started riding I was so frustrated that I couldn't keep up with my husband. I broke down in tears on one ride, I was so mad I couldn't manage to keep up.

But over time I got better, and so shall you.

It's great that you're taking the EBBC road skills course.

Which bike club are you riding with?

Hi jobob- i was thinking of going on Oakland Yellow Jacket rides but it's post-season & I have a swim class when they ride. My DH's club is a racing one but are supportive in spirit. I have gone on a Velogirls beginner ride but it's too far of a drive to get there on a regular basis.
