just wanted to add an update... my newbie rider is now up to 23 miles... last night we did her first night of hill repeats. She wasa hurting woman, but never gave up!!! She has grit, no doubt about it.

Her husband was supposed to ride the upcoming event with her (their first event ride) but the day we met, was complaining about not being able to catch his breath while riding... had been to the doc and they were supposed to run tests the following week... later that day went to ER as short on breath... long story short, he had a PULMONARY EMBOLYSM!!! YIKES!!!!!!!! He is now on a blood thinner and due to safety concerns off the bike for 6 months...

I gotta see if the ride is still open and will most likely do it with her... it would stink to do your fist ever 50 mile ride alone...

eeekkkkkk BC - keeping him in my prayers! as for riding with your newbie friend - what a wonderful thing for you to do.....can you ride it as a poacher if you have too??.....I can't even imagine what she must be going thru right now after having planned this with her husband all along!! keeping you in my thoughts too hun!
