Hi,

I hope you have been able to get yourself out there to ride. I too have a team of guys I ride with. Some don't wait, but most do. I actually find it modivating to ride with them. I find I push myself harder and am constantly trying to beat my previous uphill time and usually beat most of them down on the downhill. I have found that when I ride with women who aren't up to speed, I don't push myself nearly enough. I think I earned respect from my guys after I spent months in the gym powering up and showing I can ride with the best of them...oh and that 90 second rear tire flat change. THAT was impressive, to me and them alike.

So...get out, enjoy and you might find an inner strength you never you knew you had.

Happy riding!
