Another non-racer here! I mainly wanted to start biking to get out into nature...I was becoming too much of an indoor gal, and I hated it! I wanted to get out and enjoy the outdoors since you just can't do that effectively when you're driving everywhere. Of course, the other reason was to improve my fitness since I have ADD when it comes to exercise...I do it all: running, kickboxing, spinning, stepping, weights, yoga, etc, etc...cycling was the next in line for me

I'm not fast, but I'm not slow either, I'm just a happy medium! I am trying to work on my hill climbs since I currently suck at them which surprised me, but I'll get there. My MTB and my commuter are just for fun though, period. No racing, no HR worries, just me and the outdoors
