    +1 to what Veronica said above.

    Just keep riding your ride! You're doing great and progressing too.

    Good job!

    (Not sure why this was in the tri section? Lots of people don't generally look in that section.)

    20 miles isn't all that short, either. You have good reason to be pleased with yourself.

    I think 20 miles is amazing! And, I think it is a GREAT distance too. I think later when you are riding even more, you will like the 20 mile distance Congrats! keep it up!
    Slow and steady (like a train!)

    Congrats, Tina!!! I think a 20 mile ride is really amazing for just 9 weeks in!!! What matters most is that you're enjoying yourself, you love riding, and you're healthier than you were in February. Good for you!!!

    You did two good things...the ride AND the saddle
