I realize that this thread is almost 2 years old, however as a new rider myself I found it to be touching and motivational like nothing else I've read here or anyplace.

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you wonderful ladies for the inspiration & information I receive on this forum.....I am a lone biker and you are all my cycling buddies in spirit

I hope other new riders will enjoy this post as it is timeless in my eyes...
